Squirrels are fat and ready for winter.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
East Haven, Connecticut, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 24, 2011 -- This fall here in Connecticut, has seen a boom crop of Squirrels and places they need to winter up. The number of calls we have gotten compared to last year has tripled. Grey Squirrels have had bigger litters this year as well as a huge increase in Flying squirrel numbers. The last couple of years the acorn crop has been very strong and mother nature has taken advantage of it by breeding more young ones.

We are seeing the mature ones getting very heavy, more so than in years past. As the mast crop [Acorns] have been very few this year I can only guess they are gaining weight up for a bad winter for food. Even the song birds have increased on the feeders.

This can only tell me that alot will suffer winter kill as food becomes harder to obtain. Next spring should see a decrease in breeding and the number in each litter. It's what Mother Nature does to keep a balance between animal and food.
Interesting is the population growth of Flying Squirrels. I can guess it takes less food to sustain them and less predators to bother them. The jobs we did this past year saw numbers of them from 2-10 per house. We'll have to see what happens in 2012
