I discovered this American Mink along the shores of the St. Lawrence River last December and January. I made a few trips to try to see and photograph it and some days I would be successful and other days not so much. On this day the mink wasn't being shy and it allowed me to photograph it while it hunted from the edge of the ice at a spot where the water was not frozen over. I watched it collect frogs, a number of cray fish like this one, and other fish that it would bring to the shoreline somewhere after it had emerged from the frigid water to a food cache somewhere along the shore.
