Flying Squirrels

Last weekend I continued to see this rodent late at night on our upper deck where we keep a squirrel proof bird feeder. The rodent was the size of a chipmunk, but gray with big bulging eyes. Suddenly it jumped off my deck and smoothly glided to the ground. It was quite a sight. i am wondering if many people in the area have seen them? Their name is a misconception because they don't really fly, but glide. YouTube has some good videos on these squirrels gliding to the ground.
