Acorns......or lack thereof.

So all this hot weather seems to be having an effect/affect on my oak tree. I have lots of baby acorns falling in my driveway and they are very small. I look up into the trees and see very few still on the branches. I know this is a defensive posture the tree takes by not wanting to supply the acorns but man they are falling all over the place and I can't walk bare foot in the yard as the little spikey ends HURT! Anyone else having this problem? No acorns...no food for the little chipmunks and squirrels. A few years ago this happened and I noticed a big decrease in the chipmunk population. Maybe natures way of thinning things out.
