Have you seen this creature?

I’m pretty sure it’s a mink. I’ve seen several mink the past few weeks and none for years. I got up close to one the other day in my kayak. He turned and looked at me like he was going to jump into the kayak with me. I was thinking that if he jumped in I was jumping out. They look cute but I think they’re mean little critters.

Sorry, is not me.

My guess ..... looking at the line on the right rear which appears to be the primary wing feathers ..... this is a mallard duck .... slightly out of focus ... probably a female ..... with its' head down under the water. What you see on the left side is the duck's neck.
