Are mink relatively new to the lakes region area, say in the last 50 years?
The reason I ask is that I lived at the lake (south shore for over twenty years until 1963). During that time no one that I knew had ever seen a mink. So I was wondering if they are an invasive species.
I have seen a number of posts recently on Facebook about mink on the islands and shores of lake Wiini.
