Field Notes

Description:

This opossum was out in the middle of the day, digging through a corn field, looking for lunch. It seemed a little small, my guess is it is a younger opossum. The opossum is the only marsupial in in the US and Canada. About the size of a cat.

Habitat:

Agricultural at the edge of a young forest
