I second these observations. I 89 from New London to West Leb is littered
with dead squirrels. They seem to be hurtling themselves at oncoming
traffic. I avoided a few by swerving into the other lane. Not a great
maneuver when going 70 miles an hour.

Is the excessive road kill due to an explosion in squirrel population or
something else?
