Hi Laura, it was quite a surprise when I saw that the mink had gotten in for a quick dip. The mink's coat is so thick and perfect for protecting it when looking for a fishy meal in 18 degree weather. I'm so glad you and Natalie enjoy helping the birds together. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Brrrrr! I got a shiver when the mink dove into the water. We have a big bird count at the feeders now since the weather is colder and wet and dreary. We fill the feeders every day. Natalie is still my helper when she is here. I hope you and your family have a wonderful New year. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your backyard and the wonderful birds that stop by to visit.
