OTD last year: very rare sighting of a mink. We only see 2-3/year on campus.

A mink peeking out of a bunch of reeds in a marsh. It is brown with small black eyes and tiny ears and a small black nose. There is a little bit of white on its chin and some white just below its neck. Only half of its body is visible.

DOOKIN' DOOK!

("Dooking" is a rapid chattery sound that mink and multiple other mustelids make when feeling playful or excited)
