Steve;What are they weasels, Ermin's, mink? I like the black on the tip of the tail.Yup,Yup, nope.They are Weasels in the Summer, when they're Brown, and like the Rabbit/Hare/ptarmigan, they turn White in the Winter and are called Ermine.Unlike the Black Snake, a Weasel will kill all the birds in your pen in one night, they don't even eat them, maybe a bite or so from one or two and total destruction of your whole covey/flock!
Well, thought I'd show a picture of my local mouse catchers. Good thing my bird houses lock up at night.The small one is the one the cats caught & killed, left on the carpet inside for the wife.Last sunday I was running around trying to leave early for a new job . Ended up leaving 4 hours late due to the bigger of the two playing peak with me and one of our cats.....from under the Reeves house ! Set a rat trap with smelts for bait & locked up the cats.
