What is it?

Oreo and Fanta were staring intently at SOMETHING in the Mango tree beside the porch this morning. Can you guess what it is? Here is your first clue:
Is it a bird? A reptile? What is with that tail?

Why hello there little fellow! Are you one of those chicken hunters I've heard about? Because my three chickens are not very tasty yet.

Off it skulks beside the electric fence to examine the chicken coop.

Michelle was startled by this same animal (or a close relative) about 2 years ago; likely it lived in or nearby our roof. I got lucky with pictures this time. :) I think it's a Genet; a Civet might be larger.
