An image being in the right place at the right time and the right conditions. probably never get this again.... A wild mink has caught a coot and is attempting to drag it back to its den over the ice on a small pool.

How cool is that?! I've only ever seen one once, and I'd love to get a chance to photograph one sometime. Hopefully you were able to watch and see where it's den is at.

Nice find. I have never seen a mink or anything similar (ermine, long-tailed weasel, etc) in the wild. I would love to, but I haven't.

Great photo. Never underestimate luck -- being there is the key to great photos.
