Opossums are not just a southern Maine phenomenon. They have been seen throughout eastern Maine for at least a decade. I saw my first dead one in the Bangor area on Route 1A in Holden in 2004, and in 2010 I drove past a dead possum smack in the middle of US Route 1 in Jonesboro. A friend told me he had one living in his garage last summer, and it hissed at him from the rafters whenever he came in!

To Maine Birders,Just before dark, we saw this strange "bird" sneak in under our feeders. It supped on the abundance of seed flicked to the ground by Jays and Doves, before retiring under one of our tarped boats, to later, no doubt, find a more secure refuge for the night.This sighting, combined with a recent inhalation of exquisite perfume, Eau du Skunk, while traversing the roadways of Falmouth, is a true harbinger of Spring. Take heart, all, we will see green, by month's end...or not?Rob Speirs CumberlandPS - Surprised to see this "bird". We have many in southern Maine, but they are creeping north. Soon you will have them, as well.
