"Ran down to the Llano River while wife was in ""Buckaroo's Blankets"" quilt store. Saw some really neat things here! Basing this ID on the genetic work done on gophers of the area: http://jmammal.oxfordjournals.org/content/90/3/537"

"Observed in Fredricksburg, where Elizabeth and I stayed at the ""Corner Cottage Bed and Breakfast."" Cool place. :) Woke up sorta early to look for some birds around the creek. ID based on genetic analysis of populations found in the area: http://jmammal.oxfordjournals.org/content/90/3/537 More info: http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/VHAYSSEN/msi/pdf/679_Geomys_texensis.pdf"

"After a morning with heavy rainfall in a short amount of time, I noticed this dead GOPHER on the dog pillow on the back porch. Do not know if GOPHER drowned, although it is feasible with all the standing and running water we had earlier, or if the dog finally caught something. Anyway, the species name ""attwateri"" was appropriate today because of all the running and standing water."

Elizabeth and I went to Goose Island State Park, in particular to find the turtles documented by some folks earlier in the month: http://www.inaturalist.org/projects/inat-observation-of-the-day/journal/4990 Alas, we didn't see the turtles, but that's ok -- we spotted LOTS of other really exciting things. :) ID based on genetic analysis of populations: http://jmammal.oxfordjournals.org/content/90/3/537

Texas Parks and Wildlife sponsored Powderhorn Ranch BioAssay - April 28 - May 1, 2016. Gopher mounds appear in most open areas.

This was found in one of the primitive camping areas in Goose Island State Park. They were present all around the area.

I was excited to notice dirt shooting up from a gopher mound at the Birding Center. I watched it and got a few poor shots of the gopher partially emerging. It was in low light and through a chain link fence.
