Bald Eagle with Mink - a photo on Flickriver

            This is some drama I witnessed yesterday.  I was looking at this eagle which is the female of one of the pairs that I hope nests nearby.  Suddenly she lifted up from where she was perched and glided down the valley for about 150 yards and struck something on the ground.  After a short time she lifted up with this in her talons.  At first I thought it may be a cat since there was a farm house nearby but after putting it on my computer and cropping I'm pretty sure it is an otter.  Nose looks right, tail looks right, color looks right and size.  Not one of my best photos but it sure is interesting.  What do you think?  Otter??  Mink?
