It=E2=80=99s not that uncommon for me to see the markings that their landing=
s make in the snow, but I don=E2=80=99t often get to see flying squirrels in=
action, I assume largely because they are nocturnal. So I was pretty thrill=
ed to see one gliding across the road last night just as the snow was starti=
ng, maybe 20 feet ahead of me. It must have leapt off a pretty high branch a=
nd caught a good draft because it made it all the way across the road, from t=
he tree line on one side to the tree line on the other. It was gliding at a p=
retty shallow angle when it passed me, perhaps 10 feet off the ground. I hav=
e no idea which of the two species it was (I understand we have both here in=
the Gaspereau Valley). This occurred on Davison Street (a rural road with a=
rather urban sounding name) near Jake Reid Road, Kings County.
Another interesting recent sighting of note was of a Fisher along the Gasper=
eau River near the White Rock. I have seen a Fisher in that same spot multip=
le years running. Very dark coloration, almost black.
I don=E2=80=99t post to this list as often as I should. I appreciate those w=
ho do post here regularly. These local reports help us to understand what is=
going on in other neighbourhoods of the province as well as our own. The pr=
otection of our natural world relies not only on the wonder and respect of t=
he citizens who engage with it, but also on the ability of those citizens to=
communicate that wonder and respect to the rest of society.
