A Pika (sometimes spelled Pica) at approximately 14,000 ft. elevation on Mt. Evans. I found this little critter scurrying about in and out of the rocks as I was photographing his neighbor, the Yellow-bellied Marmot (photos coming soon). The cute, short eared herbivore was busy foraging for food, which it stores in caches beneath the rocks for the winter months when vegetation is scarce.
Mount Evans, Colorado. July 2013.
