I was up on the Warden's Watch this morning, scanning for anything interesting to look at, and this little guy came out on the ice to the left of me. We were both pretty surprised.

He gave me a good long look before scampering off back to my left. His back legs broke through the ice a couple of times.

I was relieved to see him make it. I had been trying for a long time to get a look at the mink and feel like I got a nice New Year's gift!

Thanks, Louise!
