We had flying squirrells in the attic when we bought our house, but I have never seen them. Lucky you! Al went to Zeiss Sport Optics and spoke with the President. (He opened the door for Al.) They had a nice chat, during which he said you had already contacted him about donating binoculars to the auction. He gave Al a Zeiss cap so he wouldn't leave empty-handed, so Al didn't make the trip for nothing. They are also interested in advertising in the Thrasher. Can you tell me which binoculars they are donating? They are going to be the prize for the member who sold the winning raffle ticket. Maybe you could bring them to the September meeting for everyone to see.

They are fascinating to watch. I usually see them on the suet. Good wholesome entertainment! Julie K. Chester
