Night Visitor   

This evening we were treated to a visit by a Northern Flying Squirrel -- Glaucomys sabrinus. While they are relatively common locally, they are not often seen because they are nocturnal. They are amazing little creatures -- so agile and so fast. They make red squirrels seem clumsy.
