Treed squirrel

I went out for a short walk up the road with my son this evening to see what we could see. This was the first Giant Japanese flying squirrel we saw up a cedar tree. You can just see his eyes glowing. We saw some a lot closer and in walnut trees growing up from the river valley below the road and they were on branches the same height as where we were standing. Yesterday a couple of little wild boar were rooting around in our garden, so I thought we might see more of them, but no luck.
