Virginia Opossum . It was a partially cloudy afternoon with intermittent snow flurries at Black Creek Park today. As I was hiking along one of the trails not marked on the county park map, I saw this opossum making its way along the forest floor.

Virginia Opossum . I soon realized the opossum was waiting me out. So as not to disturb the animal any further I put my camera down and moved on. Now I have a name for the trail on my map of the park: Possum Trail!
