Marsupial sighting

At about 5 this afternoon, cattitude looked out the window and noticed an opossum on the tree stump at the back of our back yard. He pointed it out to me, and I went to the back of the house to see if I could get a better look at it. From the porch window, the opossum was clearly visible, grooming itself. I spent a while watching it, then decided I was too chilly to stay on the porch (which is enclosed but unheated), and Cattitude took a lot of photos.

This isn't the first opossum I've seen in the wild; it is the first that was just hanging out, in broad daylight. (The first I ever saw was pointed out to me by alanro in a residential neighborhood in Toronto, at about 3 a.m.)
