Don't you just love what flash does to nocturnal rodent eyes? HA! I'd agree most likely to be a southern flying squirrel. Here is a very interesting link to an article about the two flying squirrel species in Pennsylvania: http://tinyurl.com/camcdmb

Great spotting!
I agree that this is a Flying Squirrel. It is most likely a Southern Flying Squirrel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucomys_v...

Northern Flying Squirrels are also found in a few areas in PA but are much more rare in the state.

I'm not totally sure, but that looks like a flying squirrel. Interesting!
