Che Che, Pika calls
On rocky slopes he watches
Hiding in plain sight
There he goes, he's on the move.
What's this? Is it good to eat?
Smells good.
Tastes good too.
That's enough, Time to go.
I heard the Pika call while hiking but wasn't prepared to take photos, he is small and shy and I didn't have my telephoto lens. I returned the next day, prepared to sit and watch. This furry little creature is not a rodent as many think but related to rabbits and hares; no long tail like a mouse or rat, just a little puff of fur.
I had a good day and I hope you enjoy the results as much as I did.
