Index of Subjects Yes! A friend in Little Port L'Hebert has a flying squirrel regularly visiting her window-attached feeder. He doesn't mind being watched while he enjoys sunflower seeds. It appears that he leaps (flies) down from the roof onto the feeder. Flying squirrels are nocturnal... big round eyes and a pale belly, greyish back, not red. I think that most squirrels are active until we have very cold weather... then they hibernate for short periods. I do that too.
