Mink Across the Pond

I saw this American Mink across the pond from me, so it was some distance away. I tried to bring it up as much as I could but it is still small in the picture, and the picture is not the best quality. But I was still thrilled because it is the only mink I have ever photographed. And it is the first one I have seen at Delta Ponds.

Here is some information about the American Mink:

they have almost reached 'pest' levels here in the parks around Lake Ontario. The only predator they have are the coyotes that also frequent our parks

It's so cute. What a great find. It's always so exciting to see something you haven't seen before.

How neat. Ive never seen one before. It looks a lot like a ferret or a weasel.

Good catch Vern... did you blow on it's fur to see if it's real? 8-)
