You may want contact animal control in your area. These jokers bite and carry things--sometimes rabies...
Yeah, I can imagine there are interesting characters in your area...
In mine: Coyotes, lots of Mallard Ducks (male and female); Brown bunnies--they're cute; sometimes bears; have not seen mountain lions, but I know they exist. Geese--those are some loud jokers. Frogs--but they might be dead now since the snow--unless they estivated. There are a few possums and quite a few mice and rats. And yeah, there are Beavers!!!

It is VERY rare for a opossum to carry rabies. Yes they can bite but usually only if provoked. I treat opossums all of the time and they are actually very easy to handle and rarely try to bite me. Some can be aggressive but if you just avoid them they will not try and attack you. I hate it when people come in and insist there animal was bitten by a opossum when clearly it was a cat or dog bite
. Just leave them alone or see if you can call you local wildlife rehaber-maybe they will come out and trap her. Here in Austin, animal control will sometimes pick them up-they usually bring them in to the clinic I work at and then I send them to a rehaber or just release them somewhere that is sparsely populated with people (which is hard to do now a days).
