Went for an afternoon walk today scouting for squirrels. I am really not sure what has happened but for two years straight there was probably a squirrel for every tree. This year not even a sign that squirrels exist at all. There are no predator tracks in the snow(maybe they run into the same situation) only lots of deer tracks. I could assume our extremely dry summer had something to do with this, but not even one sign in a mile?
