Could this be a mink?  I've never heard of ferrets (or even polecats) living
in the wild in Canada (mind you, until recently, I haven't really cared one
way or the other... funny how these fuzzballs can change your interests!).
Since I live in Canada I sort of felt I had to comment.  Please let me know
if I'm wrong though, and there are polecats in the wild up here!
