anyone else’s squirrels disappeared all of a sudden?

I guess it’s the heat and drought. We usually have dozens and sometimes more than that. It occurred to me this morning I haven’t seen one in days.

You have some wild bird seed? Put it out and watch them come!

It's much less activity. We probably have 30 squirrels in/around the property and activity is way, way down this Summer.

I noticed the same thing. I see them in the morning and in the evening, but not during the hot part of the day. They drink water from my bird bath a lot.

I’m not seeing them at all now. And we have birdseed out everywhere. It’s weird

Probably from all those house cats. They murdered all the birds in the world and have now moved on to squirrels.
but in all seriousness, i haven't seen many at all the last few months, and i usually have a few run across my roof every single day for the last 10 years or so and i haven't heard that in quite some time.

I’ve still got plenty. If they don’t stay out of my damn attic I will declare war on them again, though!

Eating green cones and green pecans heavily now.

You have an owl in the neighborhood.
Squirrels go quiet when the owls show up.

Yes.
But I've been shooting them like a Scotlandville turf war.

As an unwilling attic landlord, I am team owl, but I have to say, as varmints go, squirrels do have more redeeming entertainment qualities than most.

Squirrels move around seasonally with food source changes. I see it every year. They will camp on a productive tree. They will move to areas with different species based upon timing of mast production.

Yes, but I'm the one doing the disappearing.
I use my scoped 10/22 with CCI segmented hollow points to send them to the happy acorn plantation in the sky.
Those rodents can live in my woods, but if they venture into my 5 acre mowed homesite, theyre marked for death.

I'm the opposite. We bought our place last year about this time. I notice one when walking the land (eaten pine combs under a big pine). Didn't see one for several months despite putting out feed and bird feeders.
Now, I can't drive to the mailbox without seeing 4 or 5 of the little bastards.
