I spotted this adorable fellow in the distance and captured a couple of quick shots before he scurried off. The quality of this image isn't the best because it was taken from a distance and cropped to show more detail -- he was quite far away.
Pikas are often mistaken for rodents but are actually lagomorphs, much more closely related to rabbits than rats. Amazingly, despite their living conditions, they do not hibernate in the winter.
