Grettinhgs to all :D

While photographing the osprey and loons, this little guy showed up for me to get a few shots of him. This was taken at the swingbridge in Bolsover, Ont.

Enjoy

Very nice Clemens, I really like the dark brown colours on the mink.

Oh! nice to see one in good lighting and close up, Thank you for sharing those :-)

...I had one in my back yard last year just at dusk and I thought I was seeing things but there was nothing else that could have been moving the way they move - I later saw them down by the river so that confirmed my suspicions - thing is, the river is only about a minutes walk but is on the other side of 23 HWY north, so it must have crossed the road to get to my house!

oh my, He/she is lovely indeed!

Now are they dangerous
guess they could give a good bite
if cornered

I like to see them left alone
not on coats!

I saw a fisher a couple of years ago in Carden - very early in the am.  Not too far from the sedge wren marsh.  It left quickly and did not allow a long view.
