Jennifer and I spotted a plains pocket gopher (Martha’s “beaver”) walking across the driveway to the glass house today. Gophers dig in the soil like another common LREC mammal, the mole, so be on the lookout for fan shaped mounds of dirt with no ridges in between the mounds. Gophers rarely go farther than 3 feet from their holes, so we’re going to be looking for one up in the savannah.
