Pika on alert (#14297847)

Pika usually go unseen until you hear their loud shrill call to warn of your presence. They live in talus areas of the mountains storing grasses (i.e. "hay") all summer to feed off of all winter under the snow in their rocky habitat. They don't hibernate as you might think otherwise and they are a close relative to the hare/rabbit family.
