They're mostly nocturnal, feeding at night. We have a few around our area as well, and I seldom see them. Their tracks in the snow are distinctive (they plow a furrow in soft snow with paw prints that look like small fists were driven in the snow). So, if you find a fresh set, it might be worth your time to follow it. They do move slow. If the tracks stop, look up. In the winter, however, they won't be up in the trees as often, more likely burrowed into soft snow.
