Has anyone else noticed all the dead squirrels around Burlington/South Burlington lately?
Okay, this might sound weird, but has anyone else been noticing an unusual amount of dead squirrels on the roads lately?
I’ve been driving around Burlington and South Burlington pretty regularly all summer, and I barely remember seeing any. But recently it feels like I’m seeing them everywhere.
Sometimes they’re completely intact, and other times they’re pretty badly hit.
What’s really strange to me is that I’ll see one on a road, drive a little farther, turn onto another road or make a U-turn, and there’ll be another one. I’ve even noticed multiple squirrels around the same general areas.
Maybe I’m just paying more attention now, but it honestly feels like there are way more than usual. With all the college students moving back into the area, I even wondered if there could be some intentional thing going on, although I obviously have no idea and don’t want to jump to conclusions.
Am I crazy, or has anyone else around Burlington/South Burlington noticed this too? Is there something seasonal going on with squirrels right now?
