While walking along DeWolf park yesterday (Bedford=2C Mar17=2C2013) I saw w=
hat appeared to be an American Mink on the shoreline near a river outlet. I=
'm not 100% certain of the id having never seen one close up.=20
It had a long bushy tail which ruled out an Otter. Was about 70-80cm body l=
ength=2C long tail and had small ears.=20
Here's the photo I captured before it hid among the rocks:

Maybe this Mink came down the Sackville river and arrived here?
