Possum

  

In the failing sunlight at the end of the day, a possum approaches the tree I'm watching.

 

It climbs up the trunk onto a large horizontal branch, mostly obscured by the scant foliage in the evening light.

 

Approaches a large cavity in the limb.

 

And disappears inside, its rat-tail momentarily still visible.

 

One might think it's in for the night, but possums (opossums) are nocturnal, so it was probably just a late day nap in preparation for a big night.
