i mentioned in my previous post that david and i saw a couple of squirrels while in north carolina. never seen anything like it before. it turns out that the white squirrel is a species that only resides in brevard, n.c. click
here to read how they've evolved...it's pretty funny. here's a pic that we captured on brevard's college campus. i thought that we had found a rare albino squirrel...ends up they populate the entire town. dude, they have an annual
white squirrel festival every may. insane.
as for the other squirrel...we kept hearing this "tink tink" from a bird feeder on a tree while we were watching fireworks late one night. it finally dawned on me (clicked in my subconscious) that there was something messin' around in the birdfeeder. so we got a flashlight (and a shovel for defensive purposes) and flashed the feeder. there sits this creature...david was like...WHAT is that!?!? from some odd reason, i was like, "it's flying squirrel" (i wouldn't say that i am smart...but for some reason...i logically thought it's nighttime...it looks kinda like a squirrel...therefore it must be a flying squirrel). so we played a flashlight game with him/her. everytime we'll say "he" came out, he'd stay for a sec or two and then hop off the ledge of the feeder back behind the tree. then we got the telescope out and DUDE, you could see what he was clearly munchin' on. he finally got annoyed with our light game and scurried off. unfortunately we didn't get to see him fly. and our camera battery died (with the charger at home), so we couldn't take any pics, so i grabbed this one off the internet.

Well now. I've waited and waited for your next post.
Actually, we have white squirrels in Bowling Green. There is one on hole #15 at Keriakes disc golf course. His gray cousin threw a hedge apple at me yesterday when I bent over to pick up my disc. Hit me in the arm. I was alarmed. But unharmed. Let's farm.
Flying Squirrels - I saw one up close once when I was climbing my deer stand a couple of years ago. He took a flying leap and glided a couple of trees away. I never saw him again.
Later Georgia,
