Post by: guesswho on November 12, 2012, 07:58:42 PM
I've been getting all kinds of different critters this year on camera, but this is a first for me.

you're gonna have to point it out to me.  I see something white on the side of the tree in top pic, nothing in bottom pic?

It's a flying squirrel, I get them on my cams every once in a while too. Look about half way up the tree in the second shot, look for the eye shine.

He's in the center of the tree a little over half way up in the bottom picture.  If you zoom in on it you can see it pretty good in both pictures.  It's Rocky the flying squirrel.   I see them from time to time but never had one show up on any of my game-cams.

Flying squirrel, I see it now.

For a minute I thought you were talking about this guy.  ;D

I had no idea flying squirrels came out at night.

I haven't seen one in over 20 years when I pushed over a dead tree in the woods and 3 of them glided out as it went over.   Cool stuff.

An old guy on my deer lease used to have a deer stand with a false floor.  He had 'em raising young'uns in the compartment created by that.  I don't know that I've ever seen one in the wild, much less at night. :icon_thumright:

They are more common than most people realize but you hardly ever see them because they are nocturnal. We catch them all the time doing bat surveys though.
