Your welcome cwmusique. I would like to see one someday. Thank you for adding references to your spotting as well.

Thank you Brian38! :) This was an exciting discovery for me. If I've read the most recent maps correctly, the last time the No. flying squirrel was reported in my area was before 1990. I've lived here since 2004 and never seen one before! Not an awesome pic (at night, through a glass door, with my mobile phone...) but probably the best one I could have gotten at that time. Appreciate your encouragement. Looking forward to being part of the project.
