A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Neovison vison
Has a long body, a uniformly enlarged, bushy and somewhat tapering tail, and the feet are broad, with webbed digits.
Most territories are located in undisturbed rocky coastal habitats with broad littoral zones and dense cover. They may also occur on estuaries, rivers and canals near urban areas.
The one and only time I've ever seen a mink! Was out at Altona Marsh near Charles Town, WV, looking for birds to photograh when this mink just walked out of the cattails - how lucky for me!

You must have been absolutely giddy with excitement when you saw him! Awesome capture!
That's a great picture!
Great pic! They can be quite viscous...my brother had one hissing at his 4-wheeler one day while riding on the trails!
Really good spotting!
