[mou] Mink in wood duck houses

[Mark Palas]

My father who lives in Pine county,  told me that he saw a mink climb a 
tree and enter one of his wood duck
boxes this week.    He said the mink was in the box for about 5 minutes 
before exiting.  The mink returned a few
hours later and reentered.  Our assumption,  was that the mink had 
killed the female,  and was feeding on her or her
eggs.  Our plan is to install guards for next years birds.  I'd be 
interested in hearing anyones comments on keeping
mink out of wood duck houses.
