American mink keeps watch along the South Platte River. Going back to this charmed encounter from October and this cool creature. I shot a ridiculous number of pics of the little one as it bounded along the river, even catching a fish. Here, after stashing its catch, it returned, seeming to want to try its luck again. It paused briefly on a rock along the river, sticking its nose up as if smelling something.
