the year of the 'possum

We've had an unusually large number of opossums around the farm this year. They normally are ok to have around, killing ticks and being general scavengers, but started to get eggs from the nest boxes, and cross the line.

I killed two, and caught three, drove them to a far location, and we still have some hanging around. I'm much more careful now with getting the coop hatch closed early, but if the remaining ones learn how to get in the coop during the day, I might have to get rough again.

This little guy is cleaning up under the bird feeders. The juncos don't like the competition, but I don't mind as long as he stays away from the barn and chicken coop.

winter pets

Deep snow makes for hungry critters. This young turkey has been hanging out by the house for a while now. Deer too, but I've already posted enough deer photos.

And these guys came later and found some crab apples to eat.
