Squirrel Saved from Mink at Celery Farm
Trish Albanese writes:
This is the only clear picture I shot as we both startled each other. I was coming from Warden's Watch on Wednesday afternoon, headed back to the parking lot.
At first glance I thought 2 squirrels were fighting. Little did I realize I disrupted an afternoon snack (you're welcome, little squirrel)!
The mink froze for a second and then ran right into the large hole right near the footbridge. Hope you enjoy!
(Thanks, Trish!)
