Years ago we lived in an apartment in DC, about 5 stories up, that faced the 
forest in Rock Creek at treetop level. We had a feeder outside our bedroom 
window, and we kept the seed in a bag below the window. It was very entertaining 
to watch the Flying Squirrels visit at night. They would hit the window screen 
with a loud "twanging" sound, then crawl over to the feeder. One warm autumn 
night we left the window up and the screen off. We were awakened by a munching 
sound coming from the seed bag. We turned on the light and saw a startled 
Flying Squirrel leap from the bag and scurry under the dresser. We debated trying 
to herd it out the window, but decided to stay in bed and turn off the light. 
After an appropriate period of silence we again heard munching sounds coming 
from the bag. Eventually, the satisfied squirrel left without any help.
