Thanks Mirage! Alz, that is a good question. If a girl squirrel is nursing sometimes her little squirrel ... ta-tas are prominent. Otherwise their anatomy is pretty much front and center when they are sitting at my feeder. The boys are also bigger. No squirrel has complained to me though, so who knows if I am right? LOL. Here's a story for you which definitely will call my squirrel  gender determination skills into question:  Years ago when I was married and living in another town, my husband and I started feeding the squirrels. The biggest  one would come stumbling down the tree and nosh for hours. He had some distinctive markings (can't remember what they were after 22 years) and we called him Bubba. He was huge! And a piggy! Well, Bubba didn't show up for awhile and then one day "he" came down the tree with some babies following!! Apparently Bubba was really Bubbette. Or Bubbina.
