We saw this guy (well, not exactly this guy) crossing Hunt Hill at Midline on our way home from the library yesterday. He could easily nab several of our chickens without a second thought. Luckily, he has some geese to choose from at the Dusenberry Farm down there. Where there's one mink, there are probably many more.

I lost a chicken last week in what appears to be a mink incident. And Mahlon killed a mink in his chicken coop recently. Hmmm...
I forgot to tell you, a colleague of mine (who lives near Danby) also has a female black bear and some cubs hanging out at his house. He told me today he came home to find them "hanging" out on his deck!!!
We found a dead weasel in the house, apparently a victim of the cats. No sign of minks yet, though.
I worry that I'm making more and more parts of the yard look like a prison with the fencing we're putting in, but so far, so good. (Except for the cost of the fencing.)
