What's with the squirrels?

I live in an old residential area....with a goodly number of oak trees. Most are pin oaks and likely all related. I have 3 smaller ones in my back, neighbor has a big one and I have a big one in front...and neighbors across the street have big old 50 to 60 year old trees....so lots of bushy tailed critters around.

The squirrels are nipping off the tips of the branches of my front yard oak...just about 4 inches of the branch with the leaves.....

No one else's yard is littered with oak twigs....just mine....and it's really littered.

Why? Why are they nipping off the branch ends and why olnly that one tree?

I will post this on a wild life forum....but I sometimes get better answers here than anywhere else.
