Virginia Opossum Out for a Snack by 


I found this opossum actually this afternoon out enjoying acorns during the day in upstate NY. These guys are strickly nocturnal and you don’t see them during daylight hours. I guess this is the equivalent of our midnight snacks. :D I was able to catch him looking directly at me just before he ambled off.
