Oops! Displaced Flying Squirrel Mama

Flying squirrels are really neat but the name is somewhat of a misnomer since they glide, not fly, but gliding squirrel just doesn't sound as good. Those big eyes are something else.


I had one nesting in a hackberry tree that I cut down and discovered too late it was in there. Luckily the dog didn't see it running away.

The one in the bird box was funny. I found out when some birds were trying to get in the box and something kept popping out the hole chasing the birds away. When I started to open the box the squirrel started coming out so I carefully closed up the box and left it alone.
 
I love flying squirrels, what a cool story!
SO and I both had pet ones as kids, raised from little orphans found in the yard. Mine lived 11 years!
One got into the house a few weeks ago. Catching them for removal can be...interesting.
 
I've never seen a flying squirrel. Cyn, I really wish you and Tom would just carry a camera in your pocket, at all times!
