Possum Patrol

Annabelle got a little anxious in the house earlier tonight. We turned her out and, as she was bounding up the hill towards the chicken coop, we saw  something heading up a tree. We went out with a flashlight and encountered this fellow clinging to the trunk.

We've seen him a few  times in the backyard hanging out under the bird feeders. I suspect he's been snacking on bird seed and the lettuce, apples, and tomatoes we give to the chickens. I don't think he's after the chickens. I don't think he has enough motivation or speed to try to take them on. So . . . as long as he leaves the chickens alone, he's welcome to hang out in the yard.
