12.18.12 Playing Possum
We have a stuffed Possum who lives with the wintering outdoor plants in the bathtub,

She looks sweet grooming her chick, but don’t mess with mom’s nest: Ural owls are aggressively territorial. “I’ve made an ‘agreement’ with the females that the price to band and measure one nestling is six hard punches on the head,” says Finnish ornithologist Pertti Saurola.
