Awesome Afternoon with a mink!

[JayinMN]

Today I took a ride down to Zim/Sax and had a great opportunity to hang out with a mink fo over an hour. It was totally unphased by me, my car or the dog having a fit inside of the car thinking he ws a large squirrel. He just went about his business looking for food. He eventaully started pulling little bullheads out of the grass banks of the ditch. I seen him take three to shore and eat them. I also found a lot of waterfowl, an owl, and other birds that I will post in a little while. I can only load so fast with dial up...lol

C&C welcomed.

Great stuff, my fave is the 4th from the last.. The one with the snow, I just really like the contrast of his color and the white and the blue water in the background.

He's a cut little bugger. That would have even been enjoyable without the camera.

Way to capitalize on a rare chance, Jay. That's a bunch of great images for the portfolio. Those mink generally don't stick around. Excellent work!
