You are correct! Loud squawkers too! Some people around here have them on their farms with alpacas, emus-those kind of places. And in the summer, you’ll actually hear them scream before you see them-as you drive by! I thought I hit something first time I heard it driving past this WildLife Preserve place.
Wonder how vicious they are tho? We have fisher cats here, fox and of course coyotes and they love their poultry/fowl!
We’ve got a fox running around here starting around 5pm last few nights-ran right past my house on the road, then my husband saw him up by the fishing bridge a few days later, same time of day. He doesn’t look rabid or anything, I think he’s a young one who’s just learning the ropes and doesn’t know what he’s doing!
You have to be ready for anything out here-between animals-like the fox just trotting by my front yard when I am usually outside with my dog-glad I wasn’t...to the occasional car chase with the State Police in hot pursuit; we live on a CT back-country road that goes to RI or MA-had that happen last Thursday...honestly...it’s never dull-for long that is.....

“Wonder how vicious they are tho?”
That, I don't know.
Fisher cats scare me - they scream too.
Sounds like you have much activity in your neck of the woods; stay safe!
