This little fella wandered into my yard the other day. The temp was seven degrees, with a “feels like” of zero. Ouch. He seemed alright, but I was surprised to see an opossum out in the day as they’re primarily nocturnal. A bit of research revealed that opossums are known to adjust their schedules during cold snaps.

I hope he wasn’t too camera shy, because he wandered right into the yard of a guy who loves photographing wildlife. I was filming a cardinal at the feeder when he sauntered right past me. Lucky.

After sniffing around the opossum shambled under a neighbor’s deck and that was the last I saw of him.
