This "mouse" in my Bluebird house was cute--so I took his pix before
I opened the door to chase him out. Imagine my shock,
when he (she?) flew about 35 feet to another tree!
I'm 70 and had never heard of a flying squirrel in my East Texas
area before. I left him (her?) alone after that,
but sadly, I have never seen my little friend since.
