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

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-)
