We have tagged >120 squirrels in this project. Of that group, remarkably, only two have died as roadkill. Well, we have only found two. There are likely a handful more. This female was hit by a car in central campus today (10/20/2017). We ear-tagged it (no collar) on 3/28/2017–it had moved about 400 m from the original capture location. It appears she may have young interested in nursing in the recent past.
