Flying Squirrel.
I also observed an animal
feeding near camp.
When I first approached
he ran from the top
of a log to the ground and
disappeared from view
behind the log. After I had
remained quiet for about
2 minutes he reappeared
and began feeding on
the ground about 10 feet
away. In [illegible] feeding,
[illegible]. The animal [illegible]
came within 4 feet of
me and at no time did
it appear to detect
my presence. In feeding,
the animal thoroughly
examined almost everything
in its path with its
nose close to the ground but
looking up at regular
intervals in observation.
For the animal saw moved
to a cigarette butt
which I had just crushed.
