Woke up this morning and there was snow in Whatcom County. However, as of later this morning, the temperature has moderated and now the snow is turning to rain and slop. The wet and rain, melting on the deck and running out the downspouts and off the roof, It made me think of the old song about the roof having a hole in it.
These are informative roof photos that tie in with today's theme of roofs with holes. It covers about everything here, wood shingles, composition shingles, flat roofs, metal roofs. The first two pictures were supplied by Charlie Buell, a Seattle inspector and AR member. I have lots of roof photos with aged or failing roofs but could not find any that so classically showed roofs with holes. The top two, as I said, are from Charlie. The others are from my own award winning collection of bad roofs and the damage below.

Donna,
Depending on the size of the hole, around here, common attic dwellers I have heard of, or seen, include:
Rats, squirrels, raccoons, birds, bees and bats.
