"PIKA PICS"

Pika - 9 Photos

Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada

Pikas may be small & stout but they are hugely photogenic, if they stay in one spot long enough for the camera to focus.

And now that Autumn is here, there is some final scurrying to harvest the remaining grasses, seeds and "hay" to keep the Pika in food supplies for the mountain winter. Like beavers, Pikas do not hibernate through the Winter. They actually traverse the terrain through a series of tunnels under the rocks & snow. 

And in between all that shopping, there is the occasional pause to satisfy the odd itch (Photo #1).
