peterschreck's Identifications

What a surprise when I encountered an American Mink (Neogale vision), with Marsh Rice Rat Oryzomys palustris), scampering across The Landing’s Marina parking lot. The lighting was poor, and my camera lay on the seat of my moving golf cart. I grabbed the camera, switched it on, and fired off a round before its disappearance into the weedy edge of the marsh. It was my first ever encounter of a Mink with Rat!
