A small grey and white rodent is perched on a peanut feeder at night. This is a Northern Flying Squirrel, one of 53 mammalian species that make their home in the Adirondack Park of upstate New York. These little guys don’t have wings, but they can glide using a specialized fold of skin called a patagium. I caught flying squirrels fairly frequently on our trail cameras for three or four months several years ago, but haven’t seen one since. I suspect our resident foxes got them. Our squirrel and chipmunk populations have also declined, probably for the same reason.

A beautiful northern woods setting, with tall evergreens on either side of an extremely placid river lined with large boulders, so still it reflects both the trees and the glorious sky, filled with light white clouds.
