animal cutting branches off tree

I have a hickory tree that I have notices some small branches with leaves on them on the ground. Looking at the , they are about 1/4 inch in diameter and look like they were cut like a tubing cutter would cut a copper pipe. What kind of animal would cut them off the tree like that ?

Better to have the squirrels cutting off branches of trees, then to be after your nuts!

Now a big old gray or fox squirrel that's living on acorns is a whole different thing than something a little bigger than a chipmunk that eats pine cones. The only grays around here are mostly in town where the non- native trees are. Somebody would be upset if I started plugging them.
