The days are getting longer, and the wildlife is coming out from hidey holes.
This possum graced us with his/her presence yesterday. We were rather startled, as it was wandering around our porch like it owned the place. Maybe THAT'S why the cat food disappears rapidly some days!
After we banged the door and yelled at it, it walked off the porch and picked its way daintily across a snow field.
It seemed huffy about getting its feet wet.
So, what is the future of this possum? If it persists in hanging around, a quick death. We don't like possums. They eat chickens and their eggs. We know from experience that predators have remarkable abilities to find ways into chicken yards and coops, and chickens are just SO dumb. This isn't a big possum and indeed some of the chickens are close to its size (with feathers) but still...it could kill chickens. No question.
So run away, possum, run away from this place!
