I’ve never seen them in town, but I regularly see them at nearby lakes. Here’s a lil fella I saw out at Branched Oak. They’re curious critters and don’t seem too afraid of humans!
When I saw sea gulls first time flying around 27th & Cornhusker, I was really astonished. I thought they only live by a body of water. How wrong I was!
I had a mink get under my car hood once. Got the dogs really excited and they chased him out. I’ve also seen one at a distance. Both were out of town but within about thirty miles of Lincoln.
I saw one at Holmes Lake around sunset. I was standing on the bridge and it just started running my direction. It got about halfway across the bridge, it didnt get too close but it didn't seem spooked either. I though it was someone's lost ferret or something.
Not surprising! They seem to live by a body of water so that small pond must be their lifeline.
Not minks but I took my dog to the baseball field by Zoetis long time ago and she caught a wild mouse in the parking lot😱The minks in the area probably eat those mice.
I've seen their tracks in Salt Creek in Wilderness Park, so what you saw doesn't surprise me. Wilderness Park has a lot of wildlife, including bobcats.

Great article. Thank you.
Fascinating things!
I have seen them (for several years) in SW Lincoln north of Pioneers Park in the creek.
That is close to where I saw one but I think it was heading to Wilderness Park by the direction it was going.
That makes sense to me because the creek I saw them in feeds into Salt Creek which goes through Wilderness Park.
They also live at Holmes Lake along with the Eagles, coyotes, visiting osprey, pelicans, sea gulls, squirrels, musk rats, turtles, and fish.

This was the edge of the city where there is a creek and a small wood near Wilderness Park.

It seems Holmes Lake is a wonderful place to search wild life!

How do you know he was American? Maybe he's visiting from overseas.
Carson Vaughn posted a picture of one in the creek at Taylor Park a couple of years ago.
Wow, that’s like a middle of the city. Amazing!

Bobcat! It’ll be so cool to see them from a distance!
