re: Flying Squirrel

We get those in our Bluebird houses in Georgia and I've seen them in nest boxes in the nearby state forest. They are really not rare here and the serious birders I know absolutely despise flying squirrels because they wipe out nesting birds in the boxes and in the wild as well. There are several species and I think it is one specific species that may be endangered but I really don't know much other than the ones near our cats are definitely endangered.

Found out there are two subspecies on Endangered List: The Virginia Northern and the North Carolina Northern. The population of the Southern Flying Squirrel seem to be stable and/or expanding in some areas. The Southern FS has been linked to cases of epidemic typhus in humans.
I have the southern squirrel. It's either gonna eat the woodduck eggs or give me typhus. I'm with Beer&Bama on this one:
