Read All About It! Swans Turn Into Gopher!

Word was that there were a couple of Swans nesting at Rush Creek. I wasted no time to rush there. No Swans. But curiosity made a Pocket Gopher stick its head out of its hole to see what was going on. No time for brushing its  teeth! Retched humor! Sorry.
 
Pocket Gophers spend most of their time in extensive underground burrows. Side branches serve as refuse and toilet areas as well as food caches. It is solitary, living one to a burrow, and often fights if it meets another. Most breed only once a year.
