Where have all the squirrels gone?

We have millions here in New York. I mean literally millions. When I'm driving my car, no matter in which direction, I always see a dead squirrel in the road. Probably because they don't just run like hell across the street like a cat does. They run across the street and stop in the middle like they're trying to remember what they are doing. Sometimes, they will just turn around and go back to where they came from. I'm always cursing at squirrels when I'm driving.
 
The squirrels have returned but only about 1/3 would be my guess. The birds are all over now. I have an app that records and tells me what type of bird. So fun to watch. With the drought we’ve had here for last few years a lot of trees are dead and being taken down. Does that make a difference?? It’s just interesting to see how nature goes in cycles.
