    I live on the second floor and even though i never ever see any squirrels, they must be coming to my balcony, because every year they bury peanuts in my flower pots. Or at least i’d have no idea who else would bury the peanuts.

      Could it be Stellar’s Jays? I’ve seen them digging around in our planters before.

          They are nice birds. They’re really beautiful and fun to watch. We moved to a new area about 8 years ago that has them, so it’s always a treat when we see them. Unfortunately they’re very shy. If they even sense that you’re watching them, they fly away. I got pretty good at spying on them from inside. Over time, they became more accustomed to us and stopped being so skittish. Now we’re able to sit on the couch when one is at the feeder outside the window and watch it, as long as we don’t make any sudden movements.
