Notes
Park Species Detail: This species was added to the CARE species list at the request of the Chief of Resources, Tom Clark. In an email, Tom wrote, "The northern flying squirrel, Glaucomys sabrinus, has been observed three times in the Fruita area by park personnel. It is known from records in the Boulder Mtn area and is thought to migrate down in elevation in the fall. All 3 sightings were in Oct- Nov in the mid 1990's. Two were verbal records that folks described to me as 'they watched a squirrel fly across the yard and land on a tree trunk then scamper around'., Park Species Data Source: Tom Clark, Chief of Resources, CARE
