Animals becoming nocturnal to avoid people

[Catherine]

I am wondering now if they are really becoming nocturnal or is our light pollution robbing them of darkness.
Either way it is a situation that we have thrust upon them. Who knows what the outcome will be.
We may change our environment in ways we didn't expect and perhaps in ways we do not like.

If the squirrels start running around at night we may find ourselves unable to sleep. They can be quite rowdy.
