Here are a few shots of mink signs, traps, and mink in surgery. The mink have radio-transmitters implanted inter-peritonially (in the abdominal cavity). This is because as they have such small, slender necks collars are - apparently - hard to fit comfortably. We release the mink where we found them after their surgery and I am tracking the movements of the mink in relation to the new causeway that has been built a few years back. There is public interest to ascertain how mink are using the area since the road was built. This work follows a study done 3 yrs ago, before the building of the bridge.
