Buller 1949 Glaucomys sabrinus -3- Sept 18 Red Mtn, 5300 ft., 14 min. S Hayford Trinity Co. Cal. covers about 118 feet of horizontal distance. As the animal started to turn and for the last part of its flight a distinct "whirri" like sound could be heard which I assume was the sound of the air passing rapidly over its fur.-Last night as the dishes were being washed and all four of us were gathered around the lamp, 1 squirrel flew into the lighted area, slowing into the branches about 3 feet overhead. Without pausing it scrambled to the trunk of the tree and very quickly vanished into the foliage up the tree.
