Pika

This pika's home is right next to a trail through a talus field in Grand Teton National Park. By being quiet and still we were able to watch him for quite awhile.

Right across the trail, I just got this shot of a weasel:

(The size of the animals in relation to each other in these photos is deceiving. The pika is about the size of an adult fist and the weasel is the size of a large house cat.)

These photos were taken in Cascade Canyon, Grand Teton National Park

Most Americans pronounce Pika "pike-a", Canadians "peeek-a."
