Hi, It's Sam from the caterpillar site you linked to. If you are in eastern mass then the caterpillar is almost certainly a Winter Moth (Operophtera brumata). They are an invasive species that's been out of control in the area for the last several years - and they are falling out of oak trees in abundance at the moment.
I wish more people realized how much great nature was right in our back yards - even in the city! keep up the good work, -Sam
