It's pretty cool that you are seeing one so often, considering how shy they tend to be.
I have a few good stories about mink, over the years. I had one run over my foot one time. I was being pretty incautious, but those mink were darn near domesticated from being around people a whole bunch. Like any wild animal with that set of accoutrements (sharp teeth, sharp claws, and speed), when scared...they're dangerous, but when not scared, then they don't much care about you.

Re: Post Race!
I doubt they'd go after a person, even a baby...though maybe if you happened to leave your baby out in the woods....
Still, I would think that they'd go after some small dogs, and they'd be tough enough to take out a cat if the cat was foolish enough to tangle with it.

Re: Post Race!
We had river otter a few times last year. You can easily know the difference in that they show up as a group. Very friendly.
This fisher cat was a loaner. Bouncing all over the place on the ice yesterday - big bounds - like 30+ inches.
I read that they mate in like April but do not implant the egg until the end of the following winter - which is now. Gestate for 30 days and give birth to blind pups. The one we saw was small - leads me to believe female. Wondering if I can find the den - it's raining and warm today - should be able to follow some tracks around the woods.

Re: Post Race!
I love watching otters play. Down in Cameron parish in the refuge, they have a bunch! In fact I remember being little and there was a small road that allowed one car to pass at a time with water on both sides, and the otters would jump between the two sides of the road(and occassionally miss too).

Re: Post Race!
I walked up on a pair of otters hunting fish last summer. I got right to the bank before one of them noticed me. They look so quizzical, and seemed so unconcerned, that when the one dove, I thought it was coming closer to get a better look, but apparently it was headed back to the den, because I never saw it again. The other one then popped up and looked all over trying to find the first one. Eventually, it noticed me standing there, and also returned to the den.
They were slaughtering some fish, but the only fish there were tiny, so they were sucking them down like sardines. Very effective hunters, I'd have to say, which was good, cause it would take dozens of fish that size to fill an otter belly.

Re: Post Race!
We got 10 inches by noon - an hour of sleet/freezing rain - now it's just rain. Seems like a two hour snow ending around 8 tonight.
And constant 30+ mile/hour winds.

Re: Post Race!
Since the upper half of the US kind of missed out on lasting snow cover this year, this storm will melt away quickly with sun angle alone.
Back in 2013 (?) we had a 30 inch snowfall close to this date - and that closed up everything for 4 days and took forever to melt.

Re: Post Race!
I remember a strong snow in May back when I lived in New Hampshire. Now, out in Idaho (which I still feel is in the upper half of the US), the grass is greening in the valley, and there's 100 inches of snow at the base on the ski hill above Boise. I'm trying to decide whether I'll go skiing again this year. I would have gone last week, but was away. Now it's pretty warm, even up there, so it'll be mushy during the day, and turning icy as the sun sets. Not sure I want to deal with that.
