Squirrel Population Decline in Texas

quote [ The pristine island of Post Oak Savannah is a mecca for gray squirrels (cat squirrels) and fox squirrels. Cat squirrels are the more abundant of the two, and Brunson says their numbers have declined significantly since 2020. ]

I saw three dead fox squirrels between my house and the next. Not hit, nothing looked wrong with them. I suspect they may have gone to the road for warmth and their deaths are related to the cold. I didn't get an answer but I did find squirrel populations are way down from effects of weather.

I should probably stop making Squirrel Chow Mein then, huh?

Squirrel has no say in the matter.

Huh. TV would have me believe that Squirrel likes Kung Pao Chicken more.

Fortunately we don't have zombie deer disease here. Yet. We also don't have Lyme disease. Just rattlesnakes. All the species of rattlesnakes. You want snakes that maraca?? Come on down to Texas!

For some reason our state tourism board asked me to stop sending campaign suggestions.
