Another Mink at the Celery Farm this a.m.
As I walked along the Allendale Brook near the Pena Bench, I saw this guy darting along the banks of the brook.
He stopped long enough for me to get a decent shot.
A blackbird flew above the mink, silently keeping track of its whereabouts.

Excellend shot Jim! In my thousands of visits to the CF I think I may have 3 or 4 sightings!

No, they are wild — been around here for years. Just don’t seem to see them for a long while, then a lot. Thanks.
