Title: Opossum, Milton
Post by: Napper on March 03, 2025, 08:53:04 PM

I was outside retrieving something from my vehicle when I spotted an object at the corner of our garage and side walkway.
I walk over and here is an Opossum drinking water from our downspout. I opened the car and on the way back it was still there.
Went out again with phone hoping to grab a shot but it moved behind the neighbours plastic waste container box.

Little thing was darker Grey  than I remember them to be. Might have been the lighting, dunno

Last night at 11:40 pm my neighbour's motion detector light went off, took a look out the kitchen window and saw a large Opossum heading towards the backyard.  Yippee! Very rarely see one, no mistaking the white +  grey body and long rat-like tall.  Mississauga.
