Mink?!
Quivira member Paul Sedler spotted this 18-24” critter feeding on a dead catfish close to dock #243 at the south end of the lake. From asking around and conducting Internet research, Paul determined he had witnessed a mink at work. Is this a first for Lake Quivira?
Seven Swans a-Swimming
December 14: I’m in my warm slippers and a robe at 8:30 this morning when the phone rings. It’s my neighbor and camera buddy, Dieter [Kinner], saying, “Grab your camera and a long lens. There are swans on the lake right now! I’ll pick you up in 5 minutes.” So off we go. [...]
Baby Green Heron
I’m proud of the shot of the baby Green Heron. I’m told by my bird-knowledgeable friends it is an unusual sight. He/she was walking along a dock just west of Treasure Island and a moment later caught a fish.
