An American Pika On Alpine Tundra
On the day I made this image, I was collecting data on the American pika and had been observing this one for quite some time. He was busy soaking up the sunshine, gathering tundra grasses and feasting on wildflowers! I couldn't believe what a pretty scene it was on such a small scale. What I call alpine magic!
