I happened to check a bird box yesterday that I hadn't looked in for a good while. It's located in some thick birch and pines and I had hoped to attract Chickadee's to it. It has been in place for several years but was always empty when I checked it. This time when I peeked in I got a nice surprise when a Flying Squirrel poked it's nose out at me.
Only once over the many years that I've been checking birdboxes have I had a Flying Squirrel use one. She scampered out of the box and up a birch sapling and I caught a glimpse of babies in the nest. I quickly shut the top of the box and took a couple of pics of her before leaving her to go back to the business of raising her young.
