Noticed my birdfeed was getting robbed at night so put the camera on flash and waited after dark till i heard something coming down the tree...



And so much for squirrel proof feeders...

Beautiful little critters. Really enjoyed them in Northern Wisconsin when they became nearly tame during winter cold snaps.

The deer even get a snack...


Bambi and Thumper

I have the same pair here in South Dakota and add in two ringnecks each day at the yard corn. In a real tough winter a couple years back I fed 300 bushels of corn. That year we had 70 turkeys but this year that big flock has moved a couple miles down into the valley so I have not yet had to feed them and we also have many less deer than normal.

Such cute twirleys.

I have two that visit my feeders every night. I call them the Fatties.

I've never seen so many that close together as in your photo !

Those flyers ( gliders) get in your Attic or Walls it's Not good!

I've done Many Attic jobs

No worrys here.. House is buttoned up pretty good.
I am impressed how far they glide from. But if it is a little windy there will be none around...

I had a pile of the Flying Squirrels here this fall too. I took some pretty cool videos of them. You were have swore they were on crack or something. Nice Tundra in the picture too.

Nice little flying squirrel

They are Pests....like tiny coyotes

was wondering what kind of squirrels those were,we dont have them around southern MN

Sweet pics. Thanks for sharing.

Are you sure they ain't down there... Mostly nocturnal and not seen very often....
They also eat meat and can be a pain in the butt at some trap locations.. I had two at the same time get caught in a 220 box, one in each jaw...

Some strange bird showed up but I let the dog put the boots to it and haven't seen it since...

The range maps do show them in Minnesota, but they are like other squirrels that are out and about..

Those flying squirrels look neat! Have never seen one - guess I need to get out more. Are they squirrels or something closer to a sugar glider?

That sounds like an ailment the morning after drinking 14 White Claws.

Dale, you sure you’re not just getting those deer used to eating underneath that ladder stand?

Flying squirrels are in Sciuridae like other squirrels. Sugar gliders are marsupials. They look similar because of convergent evolution.

Flying squirrels are very common over most of their range. They are nocturnal, so most people never see them. If you sit out at night in a forest, with a good mast crop, you'll likely see an amazing number of flying squirrels.

Yep, I've only seen flying squirrels at night
