possum2


Just when I thought I saw it all, these photos land in my mail box.
They were sent to me by Rose, a resident of Carroll Street, near the Gowanus Canal.
Rose writes that on Saturday, during the rainstorm, this opossum appeared in her backyard. She just had enough time to grab her camera and take these pictures.
Rose has seen this critter only once before, but her son spotted him a few times around the neighborhood.

I know that there is quite a population of raccoons living in the area, but I had never heard of opossums making their home by the Gowanus.
Isn't this amazing? Have other area residents had the pleasure of meeting this little fellow?
