"HOW MUCH WOOD DOES A WOODCHUCK CHUCK" Porcupine (North American) - 5 Photos Apologies for the delay in posting. One of those computer software upgrades which required a subsequent upgrade to correct the glitch. A woodchuck is supposedly a type of ground squirrel but in this instance, that old tongue twister came to mind while watching the porc...

"DO PORCUPINES SLEEP ON QUILLOWS?" Porcupine (North American) - 2 Photos A day that went from bright blue sunny skies (which is probably why this porcupine climbed into a tree to sun itself) to an overcast haze with still mild temperatures.

"IF WISHES WERE FISHES" Mink (North American) - 4 Photos Well it looks like this little mink caught its Christmas wish early. In this instance, it definitely has its mouth full.

"THE FISHING HOLE" Mink (North American) - 5 Photos As promised, here is the mink again. A star in its own right but to have an opportunity to witness its fishing prowess - totally amazing. Unlike the photo on the December 7th, 2019 blog, the weather had changed from sunny & clear blue skies to bleak, overcast with snow in the air & a cold nort...

"GOT MILK - SORRY THAT'S GOT MINK!" - Mink (North American)

December 07, 2019 • 1 Comment

"GOT MILK - SORRY THAT'S GOT MINK" Mink (North American) Although this mink appears to be quite relaxed and bathing in the sunshine, it had actually paused and was keeping a close eye (and ears) on a magpie that was hanging around in a tree close by. For once, this busy little member of the mustelid family presented an opportunity which would s...
