ack! Pikas! It’s been 2 months and 2 states since I’ve spied or heard one of these buddies. Pikas are my most adored and most beloved mountain creatures. They collect and dry grasses in high mountain tallus fields. They make loud peeping sounds when they feel alarmed. They look like bunnies with round ears.
In the high Sierra, approaching Donahue Pass this little guy took time out of his busy schedule to model for me.

I never knew about pikas until now. Great pictures.
Pika pika peeeeeeka!
