How many times have you not followed the number one photography rule: Always Have Your Camera...? I stopped by the local river today, on the way back from work. I am working with the WV Division of Natural Resources on the 09-14 statewide breeding bird survey and wanted to try to confirm the nesting of mallards or yellow warblers at the area. I was standing on the RR trestle, there wasn't much going on. A couple of small bass and blurgills were swimming around and there were a couple of cedar waxwings catching flying insects. I looked under the trestle, about 8 feet straight down. There was a female mink with four young curled up asleep on the end of a log. Of course, I had binoculars in my hand and no camera...How many times will this photo opportunity present its self again? NEVER.....
