I was out back [next to the Celery Farm] and heard birds screaming.  I looked up and a bunch of robins, red bellies and catbirds were going crazy.

 I looked down and there was a mink fighting with a squirrel.  The mink took the squirrel to the stream and drowned it – very weird.  I watched it for about 3 minutes.  They were in the water near the path.  

Some people came by and I told them there was a mink, and I think they thought I was crazy.  The mink came out – no squirrel– and ran away, but the people loved it.  

They thought it was a ferret, but it was definitely a mink!  My first sighting — even if it was kind of bizarre.
