Where are all the Squirrels in the San Bernardino Mountains? Those of us living in the San Bernardino Mountains have been wondering. We loved our squirrels. They lived, ate, and played all around our houses in our oak trees. On some days they would drop acorn remains on your head from above and one would swear they were trying to hit you. But all the same we love these furry little monkeys of North America. However, they are gone for the most part. We don't see any around our house anymore.
One theory of why they are gone is that the West Nile virus killed them. The virus spread from the west to the east and is wiping out the squirrels. It is a sad time for us living in the San Bernardino Mountains.
