"ROCKPORT" - Mink (North American)

"ROCKPORT" Mink (North American) - 7 Photos This mink was having a field day (or perhaps that's a "rock day"), fishing from the shoreline, going under a "stonehenge" and rubbing itself against the rocks. I believe it was trying to dislodge some "fishy" parts from its mouth (hence the teeth baring), as well as cleaning and distributing the oil t...

"THERE'S STILL SOME GROWING TO DO" Weasel (Long Tailed) - 6 Photos I sometimes wish I had the reflexes and speed of a weasel, in order to capture the weasel's movements. And add to that some tricky lighting conditions. I spotted the tell tale (pardon the pun) sign of the weasel's lion cub like tail disappearing along a log, as I stepped off a p...

"MINK ON THE ROCKS" Mink (North American) - 7 Photos This was my first experience catching a mink fishing along the river, in a shoal close to the shoreline.

"MORNIN' SUNSHINE!" - Porcupine (North American)

"MORNIN' SUNSHINE!" Porcupine (North American) - 9 Photos So I don't know why I find porcupines so endearing. Perhaps it's the fact that they have a certain air of mystery.

"SLEEP P" Porcupine (North American) - 7 Photos So it appears the start of "Porcupine Tree Viewing" season may have begun. That time of the year when mating takes place and porcupines look for some warming up time out of their dens and into the trees. This is "Little Bo P" born this past Spring.
