Oh yes...more squirrels are living in the attic. This is a picture of our 3rd catch...who then Brett brought to the park to release and when he did, he watched it climb the tree, get in a fight with a grey squirrel and then "fly away". At the same time he was doing that, I was showing the gals at work the squirrel when one of the docs looked over my shoulder and said "you have flying squirrels". The day before Cate and even mentioned to Brent after looking at the blog that she though we had flying squirrels. They were all right...Brett saw it fly.
Since then we have learned
1. They are very social creatures
2. They live in colonies of 15-30
3. They love to invite others to live with them
4. They are the only nocturnal squirrel (that explained a lot!)
5. They remember where they live and it is recommended that you take them 10miles away to release them and preferably over a body of open water
Brett has declared a full fledged war on these guys...we trapped the 4th one this morning and he was released far far away.

Hilarious! Then again I am not listening to them at night. My Uncle use to catch them and drive them over the GI bridge to release them. They are kinda cute.....
This is hilarious. You guys need to take a road trip to release them. Maybe you are catching the same one over and over?!
So funny! Love the large body of water, bit :)
I love it!!! I just learned so much from your blog post :) Who would ever think 10 miles???? Jeez, that is a drive!!!
They look so different than the squirrels we see around here. They are cute little creatures....but living in the attic would creep me out. At least it's not rats :) They are so yucky!!! Squirrels are MUCH cuter.
