I have the same situation where I am, but it coincided completely with the hot and humid weather.
Also, I assumed since it's baby season again (mating/nesting/preparing for birth) that some have moved further out in search of their own territory. Or may be nursing babies.
I haven't seen any dead squirrels from cars and I live in a low-traffic suburb.
There seems to be a natural "turnover" of the population every year.
