Flying squirrels and Saw-whet owl whine

Greetings-
I've posted some night sounds from 2 nights ago at:
http://www.caculo.com/sounds.htm
(recorded at Devil's Lake State Park, Southern Wisconsin)
I'm not sure about the Saw-whet owl ID, although it's close to the
whiny-scream call found in the Stokes CD. Also, at first I thought
the squeaky sounds gliding through very high treetops were coming
from bats, but a bat-expert (batter/batologist?) said it was
unlikely. I had naively compared the sounds to ones found in
www.batcalls.com and later realized those are all pitch shifted. The
latest consensus is Flying Squirrels (heard at
http://www.wap.atfreeweb.com/JavaCam/ near bottom of site).

I also have a few unknown grunts, maybe fox, but badly recorded. If
anybody cares to venture guesses, I'd appreciate the comments.

Cheers,
John Feith
