On occasion we have heard a thud against the north side of our house, and
then a few seconds later a flying squirrel appears at our platform feeder
around the corner on the west side of the house. The feeder is mounted on
the side of the house just below a window, so we have watched the squirrels
from just a couple feet as they eat the bird seed.

A few years ago I got ambitious in the late winter and started cleaning our
bird houses. When I opened the hinged bottom of the very first house, 2 or
3 baby flying squirrels fell to the ground, along with their dry moss bed.
After a quick photo, I replaced them as well as I could and abandoned my
birdhouse cleaning efforts. I felt guilty about disturbing them, but had
no clue they would be there.
