Oh my goodness! By far this little guy / gal was the highlight of my photo outings this past weekend.
I initially spotted it Saturday but dim light and the little one’s fast, erratic movements yielded sub-par pictures. Returning on Sunday, the conditions were far better and the mink more cooperative.
For almost a half hour it gave me some decent views as it darted in and out of the rocks and water, looking for breakfast. It was indeed successful, at one point catching a small fish but it opted to immediately scurry out of view to eat.
While they are not a rare creature, they are rarely seen so I am pretty darned pleased to have gotten this opportunity.
