These little devils visit me just about every night. I feed them on occasion, so they keep coming back for more. I had an old chunk of BBQed pork in my fridge that I was going to throw away and decided to give it to the opossum instead. These guys appear to be very young. Opossums tend to get much larger than this.
It was rather amusing to watch them both drag this huge piece of meat around from one corner of the yard to the other. They were so enthralled by the tasty meat, that they completely ignored my presence. I was able to get within 3 or 4 feet of them and just sat there watching them enjoy their meal. They let me get a little closer to them every time I feed them. Some additional reading on Opossums: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Opossum
I'm frequently visited by many species of birds on a daily basis. There are about 3 families of Blue Jays, 2 families of Cardinals, 2 or 3 families of Mocking Birds, countless Morning Dove, and a lot more that I can't identify.
In addition I've got about 4 squirrels that visit me often as well. Unfortunately once I get Abby, all of the critters will no longer be welcome. Abby will more than likely run them all off.
