Family: Squirrel (Sciuridae)
Genus: Glaucomys
Species: volans

Notes: These hickory nuts show characteristic feeding sign of southern flying squirrels (circular cuts and carrying notches). One used to come to my bird feeder at night when I was a kid; and I have some film photos somewhere of it munching away on sunflower seeds.
