American Pika
Living in a rocky world
Don't you just want to put it in your pocket and t…
What could be cuter?
A quick, two-second rest
Pika, busily feeding
Oh, so cute
A change from Marmots
A moment to ponder
Stocking up on food for the winter
Just a small mouthful
Pika storing food for the winter in its cave
Time for another Pika shot
A moment of closeness
Gathering food for the winter
Such a cute little thing
Love those big ears and big feet
Love a Pika's ears
Pika, up close
Pika / Ochonta princeps
A brief moment's rest
A brief moment of rest
Between a rock and a hard place
Push!

Another photo of one of two little Pikas (6-9" long) that I was lucky enough to see recently, when I had a great day in the mountains along the southern part of Highway 40, in Kananaskis. Friends, Phil and Jan, had invited me to go with them to go and see some Hummingbirds. Afterwards we continued along Highway 40 as far as Rock Glacier, where we saw two of these little "rock rabbits". There was a fresh covering of snow on some of the rocks, making climbing on the scree even more difficult, but it had to be done : ) It was also windy, as can be seen by the way the Pika's fur is being blown. This was the first time I had ever seen a Pika - unless I saw one 30+ years ago - so it was a real treat for me!
