I was just checking out a small local water supply lake here in Western Maryland and a Mink makes a run across the partially frozen lake right in front of me and my camera. Sometimes ya just get lucky!

You had very little time for any photos yet we are treated to very good image .

Congrats! I've only seen a mink a handful of times in my life.

Great catch. I haven't seen a mink in a long time. Good shot with little notice.

So that is a mink--a true mink!
We have otters, but i've never been able to recognize a mink.
Thanks!

I have a few other photos as well and I can see the white patch under the lower jaw which helped positively identified it.

Nice capture. They are very quick-moving creatures.
