@Broadfork. Well done. The allotment is thriving when the badgers stop in regularly. #badgers, #otters, #mustelids, #mustelidsofmastodon.

And now even the mink is giving me side-eye.

I am pleased but not surprised to see that there is already a #MustelidsOfMastodon hashtag.

Today's #MarshMadness offering is an American mink (Neovison vison). This one is damp because it was busy hunting in the tidepools at the edge of a salt marsh when it was rudely interrupted by the paparazzi.

A beautiful pine marten popped out and shot an enquiring glance while I was on a walk the other day in Algonquin Park. The serene wintry landscape is quite a contrast to the park in the summer, when the campgrounds, trails, and lakes are packed with other human visitors. February is a great time to observe some of the remarkable animals who live there.

I am happy to have been able to spend some time outdoors over the past week. One of the Mud Lake Conservation Area's resident minks was munching on a freshly caught fish. Photo taken earlier this week.
