Although pikas look like furry little rodents, they are actually lagomorphs, which include rabbits and hares. They live in high, rocky settings. This one was photographed up in the alpine tundra of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 600mm f/5.6 manual focus lens, ISO 400, f/8 at 1/250th of a second.
I love those things when they call out out to each other. They must a prey species as they are always watching so vigilantly. Sean I hope you are well.

These little guys are so cute. Nice capture of one surveying his domain. I like the blurred background.
Pikas are the cutest! I love that you captured the light on it’s long whiskers and fluffy chest.
Look so little how did you ever spot it
Hope all is well with You & Karen

It seems happy to be hanging out in the Rockies. Who wouldn’t be?
