Guess who's coming to dinner?

I saw this picture and couldn't figure what it was. The pictures before and after showed nothing.

Then the feed stealer showed his face. It is a large "packrat". They get their name from dragging sticks, prickly pear leaves, dried cattle droppings, and such to make a large pile over their homes to prevent coyotes and the like from easily getting to them. I guess it gives them time to escape. Anyway, this one has figured out how to get an easy meal.
