Not the greatest shot (and a bit of a large crop) but wanted to show this flying squirrel that my camera trap caught doing a bit of ground work. These guys show up from time to time in the camera trap images but usually on a distant tree or hidden in the leaf litter while foraging for nuts. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 500, f/14 at 1/160th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flash units.

Whatever airline he flies for I am never flying with again. No offense.
Sean, that nut he has; are there hickory trees in your wooded area? If so, do you know what variety(ies)?
Hey Bob, not sure of the exact species but I’ll ask my guy. Here’s a shot of an eastern grey squirrel with an unhusked, ripe hickory nut. https://seancrane.com/eastern-gray-squirrel-with-hickory-nut/
It is still an interesting photo, Sean, & I love that your squirrel found a nut!
