Another thing is we have 7 squirrels. Even though there are several peanuts for them to eat in the tray feeder and I do scatter some on the ground with sunflower seeds and cracked corn, the squirrels will go for the shelled peanuts the Crows and Blue Jays accidentially (or intentionally sometimes when sorting through to the ones they want) knock them onto the ground. I wouldn't mind if the squirrels would try and bury them in our neighbor's yards, but they will carry them into our garden or a few feet away in the yard and dig holes...crap. Thankfully they don't germinate...LOL
I do have to shoo the squirrels away in the fall sometimes. One of the neighbors has a walnut tree. The shelled walnuts are bigger than golf balls and it drives me nuts when they want to bury them in our yard!

Here are a couple of pics of a squirrel giving me grief with the shelled walnuts...LOL

This pic shows the squirrel looking for a burial place for it's prize possession...
