Looks like an albino mink. Or White ferret.

It's too big and too chunky for a weasel or ermine. Also the tail is too bushy and does not have a black tip. The size is right for a pine marten or mink, but the tail is too short to be one of them. I think somebody got tired of taking care of their pet ferret and decided to let it loose.

Possibly
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

One thing that would indicate it may be a mink is it's location next to Beth Lake.  mink love the water, Weasels, ferrets and Martin do not.  I have no idea why a mink would be white though...the ones I have seen were dark brown.  I would go with albino if it's nose was pink.

It didn't have a dark nose or eyes, it seemed pale in the face.

I use to trap mink years ago, I'd put my money on it being an albino mink.

Last year there was a pure black redtail hawk hanging around my buddy's place on 67th & 108th Marysville.

DUCKDUDE...
Remember when Daddio killed one in the yard with a shovel?
It came right up to him?
Wasn't scared?
So he hit it with a shovel before pepper got it... because he was worried it was sick or something????

Remember?

It was a Ferret.
And so is this.
They come in tons of different colors. Even Albino.
They make good pets, until people get bored with them or until they get out.
I bet you guys could have caught that sucker with your bare hands and sold him on Ebay for a couple hundred bucks.
LOL

I don't know much about minks and being scared of people, but this critter didn't care that I was walking up to it. I did try to lure it in with clucks and kisses as if it were a pet and didn't respond to that either. That being said, it's possible it was someone's pet ferret. Odd location though.
