There are two species of flying squirrels in your area. Northern flying squirrels are a bit larger than southern flying squirrels, but they are pretty difficult to tell apart. Both belong to the genus Glaucomys. These squirrels look pretty robust size-wise so may be the northern species.
Welcome to Project Noah, MargaretBarbuty. What a cute first spotting. If you know what species this is, please try to add the scientific name and a reference to complete this spotting.
