American Mink at Lakeshore State Park in Milwaukee Wisconsin on October 1, 2019

While birding Lakeshore State Park a cute little American Mink caught my eye. It was grooming itself and scratching its back on the pier, rolling over, it was having a great time. I was a ways off and I don’t think it saw me, it was so cute, what a show it put on! Not a very natural setting but you have to take what you can get in the city…:) A little rain with gloomy skies, mild temps, next to no wind. Images were taken on October 1, 2019.

American Mink…

Rolling over for a back rub…

Chilling…just got finished rubbing its back on the above beam…

Rubbing its chin on the deck…

Thinking…

Looking around…

Looking more…

Stretching out…nap time!

Great shots! Not quite so cute when he bares his teeth; they are fierce and ruthless hunters.

What a fun guy to catch pictures of. Mighty but fierce. Just like we photographers.
