This is one of three northern flying squirrels that are regulars on my suet feeder usually anytime after 6 PM until about midnight(weather depending) So I always have to make sure I have extra seed on hand after the birds are tucked in just for them!!!!

So cute! I was lucky to see these at my parents’ feeder in Wisconsin.
Aren’t they the cutest !!! I feel lucky they have chosen my suet feeder to come to and luckily I noticed them late one night listening for owls. Although when I hear the owls I don’t see the squirrels though,coincidence,I think not LOL
