While focusing on a native thistle that was in flower and oblivious to much else, I suddenly heard some small critter movement that was almost right at my feet. With a semi-macro lens in place that probably wasn't the best choice had there been time and not having been this close to this species before, I fired off a few shots.This American pika (Ochotona princeps princeps) was focused on its task and was seemingly unaware of me. It was chewing on these grass blades of which there were very few in the talus slope in which it lives, and then it gathered them up and headed back up the slope to its haystack.Sept 28, 2016, Brighton area, approx. 9000 ft elev.

After briefly snacking on some grass blades, this American pika (Ochotona princeps princeps) with the remaining blades in its mouth headed back towards its well-stocked haystack that will ultimately be the key to surviving the winter season. And after having already endured an early fall snowstorm, it was keenly aware that time was running out. This pika was literally within a few feet of where I was standing, i.e. this picture was not taken with a zoom lens.Sept 28, 2016, Brighton area, approx. 9000 ft elev.
