Description A squirrel sits precariously, three stories up, on a limb, in a stiff and cold NW wind, munching on whatever is inside the balls hanging on a nearby Bald Cypress tree.

Yes, of course and seemingly fearless of the drop as well!   We fed them shelled peanuts (one or two by hand as one in particular was very brave) on our balcony this summer but we eventually tired of their pee and poop on the balcony railing. We decided we needed to stop, but not before I got some pretty awesome photos.

Polish squirrels are not so brave. They live in parks and forests away from people.
