These frames look similar to (but better than) some shots I took of a mink along the Cleveland lakefront a couple months ago. Perhaps the same one 😆

Beautiful shots John. Love the little white chin patch.
Looks like it was not freaked out about your presence.
Tony
Hi Tony. Thank you. When I first saw the white spot I thought he had something in his mouth. Later I could clearly see it was just a white patch of fur. He was nervous at times, very alert. I kept my distance and he cooperated.

Looks like you made a new friend John, and you got some great expressions from the cute little bugger too. Nice set!
Eric
Hey Eric. Man I hope so, don't see many of these. Usually get a glimpse and they are gone. Thanks for looking and commenting, very much appreciated.

Awesome! I've never seen one. Love to find a mink or a fisher at some point.
Thanks Rik I have seen a handful of them, usually near water and usually just a glimpse and they are gone.

Hey John, I worked my way through college working all night for Fur breeders CO-OP in Salt Lake City making food for mink. I worked all night and then attended classed all day for three days a week. I never saw a mink though so it is nice to see your images. Bruce
Hey Bruce. Interesting college story. My pleasure to share this one with you.

Hi Jared. These were taken a couple of hours away from Cleveland. Could be a relative of the one you photographed. Thank you for looking and commenting.
