nice shots of one, used to see them when I was a kid growing up in upstate NY

Thanks Rick, I was a bit amazed to see it wandering about in the daylight on snow.

Wow, I've never seen one of these before... Great shots & Thanks for sharing!!

Needs some shoes and socks, looks like his feet are freezing.

Nice shots. The only time i see these during the day they are dead on the side of the road.

A favorite animal of mine, nice catch (does look cold in those bare feet though, doesn't it?)

Good shots, they make this possum look sharp.

Nice shots. Here in my stomping grounds we had two foot of snow on the ground and a couple of days ago I saw a very young one under the bird feeders at noon. When the conditions are that tough they often throw caution to the wind in their search for food and will be seen at times and places that are not the norm for them.

I've seen a few Opossums in my day. He's the best lookin of the lot. Usually there a mess.

1. Beautiful, crisp shot, Shawn. And CMOats, I never saw one when I lived in Ontario either but apparently they are starting to colonize; I've heard several reports of them in the Uxbridge area.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Its that warm weather we just had. I am sure it tricked a number of animals out of hibernation....

Lovely captures.
