Opossum update

I was encouraged early this evening when I went to check on the chickens because the nest with the oppossum was empty.  Unfortunately, when I checked one more time before closing them in for the night, the visitor was back.  Ugly things, those oppossums are, but they do have nice fur.  Sadly it is too early in the season for the trappers to be interested in them for the fur.  So I again set the trap in the chicken house and we shall see tomorrow if he is interested in cat food.  Otherwise, I may have to waste a very valuable commodity these days....an egg.  We know he will eat that, as we have seen evidence of it before.

Keep your fingers crossed that he will be captured this evening and disposed of tomorrow.
