I'm wondering if I am committing a bad thing by feeding squirrels in the neighborhood park. None of them live in any other situation than in the trees with nests.

I bought a 20 lb bag of critter feed, and I spread out roughly two 6-in bowls 3 in deep every day. I'll get anywhere from 10 to 15 squirrels feeding at one time.

I try not to do it everyday that way they can randomly search the area for other food, but should I be doing this at all?
