I almost never see a gopher now.

There's a few that are starting to show up these last few days by the area where I work. They're smaller than usual so I presume they're young. Biggest difference I noticed is that they're running on the roads rather than just meandering on the grass. Not sure why that's the case.
A few more weeks before seeing them in numbers, maybe?
