I lost sight of it when it disappeared under a dock in front of me. I have seen mink swimming at different times of the day and in different seasons along this creek over the years, but today was the first time I was able catch one on camera. That brief session made my day. Jonathan Camera Gear: Canon EOS 7D-MK-II, Canon EF-S 10-22mm, EF 28-135mm, EF 100-400mm and EF 400mm lenses.

Several years ago I was deer hunting near a small stream On the one side was an overgrown pasture and the other side was a strip covered with briars . I saw something black approaching . My first thought was a cat than it entered the water .It was a mink and it was swimming downstream with a small dead cottontail rabbit in it's mouth . Thank for your pictures
