A unique website dedicated to fishing information from Florida's Northern Big Bend. This includes the area from the Econfina River west to the Apalachicola River
My cat bought one of those in the house last week about 5:30 am. I chased it all over the house and finally cornered it up behind the wood stove. Even after I explained to the little guy that I was his best hope for survival, he bit me on the way out the door. I released him in a big oak out in the front yard. Hopefully, he made it without the cat finding him a second time.
The entire incident reminded me of the movie "Christmas Vacation" where they destroy the house trying to catch a squirrel.

I had one for about an hour. One of the field crews brought in a tiny baby and gave it to me. I went to lunch and the secretary had it when I came back - would not give it back.

It lived 3.5 years. Very old for a flyer.
They can live 12 in captivity.
They are just too small to stand up to the human world/house. Still miss her.
How cool that you had one in your stand. I spent some of this weekend cleaning out my various bird nest boxes and one of my boxes was stuffed full of stuff....like overflowing with stuff. When I went to take the lid off of it, I glanced in before the lid was totally removed and there were two pairs of eyes looking at me. I have a pair of flying squirrels living in one of my blue bird boxes. I know they're baby bird eaters but I couldn't bring myself to evict them, so I tapped the lid back in place, put the box back up and said good luck to the little cuties.
