Dinner Time
As the evening appears on Fishers Island, so does an American mink (Neovison vison), who navigates the rocky shoreline hunting for his evening meal. After a brief swim, the mink emerges victorious, clutching an eel in its jaws. Satisfied with its catch, the mink retreats to a secluded spot to enjoy its nourishing meal, ensuring a full belly for the night ahead in its coastal habitat.
