Yellowstone did provide me with another first. When I first saw this mink I thought it was a baby otter! I said, hey look a baby otter to the others standing nearby where we had been photographing the otters. Of course we all start trying to follow this incredibly fast little guy or gal and snapping away as we followed. Then someone said, that is not a baby otter but a mink! Yea! My first mink! I think I like mink better than otters, nicer fur for photos!
Just snoozing in the warm sun

This is a nice series. I have not seen too many shot of a mink. The shadow play on the snow is quite interesting.

Wonderfully fortuitous set of images of a beautiful critter! Thanx for sharing.!
Vicious, smelly little critters but your captures are wonderful
What an exciting series. It must have been fun and you ended up with lots of excellent shots! Well done.
An outstanding sequence. Great job.
