Description
A morning in the rocky mountains, I walked with my brother and we could hear some sound in between stones sounding lik rodents...We discovered this little pikas (Ochotona princeps). The size of a small hamster, they are related to rabbits. They were working hard making disappearing a lot of grass under the stones to prepare the long and hard winter.
I wish I could run as fast as them in the rockpiles. I think if I'd tried I would have ended at the hospital

They showed up almost imediately after we came, then we observed to find their spot, came closer and did not move anymore until we kind of "be a part of the landscape".
I spent almost 3 hours not moving to get some good shot.
Thank you, take care !

How many time did you wait until the pikas came out and posed for you??
