Unfun facts, I've been feeding the birds for several years and obviously 95% of that went to the squirrels and there were dozens and they all disappeared last year. I found a few pieces of squirrel corpses around, something killed them all and ate them. Have no idea what it was.

Damn, that sounds like a retribution killing.

That's terrible for you and the squirrels but some apex predator's babies are getting really well nourished. Or it's also possible many squirrels noped out of the area after a few were devoured.

The circle of life is truly a beautiful thing.
