Southern Flying Squirrel

Glaucomys volans

Tuscarora

I went out with the dogs tonight thinking I might see the young opossum that was out a couple of nights ago. The opossum was nowhere to be seen but instead, was replaced by a pair of Southern flying squirrels feeding at the bird feeders. They were amazingly brave, much more so than the usual gray squirrels that are always at the feeders. The southern species is common but the Northern flying squirrel has been placed on the Endangered Species List in PA.

Fabulous shot! I was impressed when I first saw the shot in 2012, hoping I might see one one day, and I still haven't!

Wow, what a fabulous find and photo! I would love to see one of these, but I guess I'm never out at night in the right place. I have seen tracks, but that is it. Wonderful to have two in your backyard!! V
