Siberian Flying Squirrel Pteromys volans
It is found across northern Europe and Asia, mainly in Siberia, from Finland to Korea and Hokkaido, Japan. They favor old forests with a mix of conifers and deciduous trees. They are mostly nocturnal, and do not hibernate. The EU, Finland and Estonia have launched a six-year, 8.9 million euro project to help protect the squirrel.

When the daytime is kind of boring, the night shift comes to the rescue. This clip is edited, it did not all happen in the same night. The flying squirrels are their bouncy self, the Juncos enjoy a chatty breakfast, and in the middle of all of it, a Screech Owl visited 😍 This was the only clip but I am so happy, I haven't seen an owl in a while. It is astonishing to me how small they actually are. There are plenty of mice around for them to feed on.
Continuing on my knit amigurumi streak-- meet the flying squirrel, Nalbongi by Mongaknit! They have some of the cutest knit (and crochet) softies free on Youtube! I am not a fan of video instructions though, so to show my appreciation I purchased the pdf on Ravelry.
