Small nocturnal squirrel with large black eyes.
Woodland
I put chunky peanut butter out for the birds and to my surprise, once dusk comes, the southern flying squirrels come "flying" in to eat it. I can hear their little squeaks from my front door. They are so fast that it's very hard to see them, but once they trust you, they allow you to get so close that you could reach out and touch them.

Thank you everyone. Yuko I only wish that one day your dream come true. I do think that I live in a bit of a paradise here.
This would be my dream come true - to live in a house with a big tree in the backyard where hundreds of flying squirrels flying in every night. :)
great spotting!
Oh wow, what a great spot !
I have to try that!
This is so cool!
What an amazing sight! The cutest thing in the world!
Too special!
You're welcome :-)
Thank you Maria and S Frazier. And thanks for fixing my tags, I have to go back and change most of them (new here lol)
Nice capture! (I fixed your tags by separating with commas :-)
Very nice series!
Yeah...you can find many squirrels in one spot! But during night, very rare..Nice spotting!
Thank you Adarsha. There are 10 in the first image, second image shows one gliding in and third pic shows 16 fling squirrels. And that was on one tree. I had peanut butter on two trees !
