I was lucky enough to spot this furtive little mink (Neogale vison) by the water's edge. I decided to let my kayak float nearer, so I could just sit and wait. My patience was rewarded, as I was able to see it reappear 2 more times, from under the stump, wet and bedraggled looking. Still, despite my frozen stance, it wouldn't stay still, and I didn't want to alarm it by getting too close - these fuzzy photos will have to do.
This stance makes him look as if he's pretending to be a fierce lion
Look at how beautifully camouflaged this fierce little creature is.
This sighting made me so happy!

What a cute little hunter! That's the lightest coated mink I've seen - interesting that they are so much darker in the west.
