Those are cool little critters.

That is so cool QO. Love the story about these and without the pics to really show how urban the area is some may not have believed this.

Thanks, all. HBG, it's pleasantly surprising to see the variety of critters and plants in and along the irrigation canals. There's at least one heron that flies over the house every once in a while, and one of the canals across town has salmon in them. Apparently, there's a fish hatchery "up stream" from it, and these are escapies. People fish for them, which is legal, but personally I wouldn't touch anything caught from that canal. It's on a major intersection and next to a gas station. The rains are gonna wash a whole lotta crud into that canal.

Love the story. Those first two pics made me think of the movie Caddyshack.

I think they're a bit bigger than that gopher. I haven't seen them lately, but I expect the city wasn't interested in them tunneling under the telephone pole and its supporting cable. I imagine they've been removed.
