We had an infrequent visitor to the camera trap the other night — a southern flying squirrel. There are two types of flying squirrels in Connecticut, the southern and the northern. I’m pretty sure I got the identification on this one correct. I’ve seen them a few times gliding through the air while out walking the dog late at night. That will be the next challenge — to catch one mid glide. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 20mm lens, ISO 500, f/14 at 1/200th of a second, Camtraptions camera box and trail monitor, Nikon SB-900 flash units.

Can’t wait to see your mid-glide capture, Sean!
That’s not going to be easy, but I’ll give it a try.
You know it’s southern because it drips skoal on your head as it glides over you
Sounds like you’re being a regionalist.
