Super Pika! - a photo on Flickriver

Super Pika!

            What an amazing 5 days I just spent photographing one of my all time favorite subjects, the mighty pika! Without a doubt, these tiny little high altitude members of the rabbit family, are the greatest challenge to me as a wildlife photographer.  This is the time of year that they are out and about, almost non stop, gathering the tundra grasses and wildflowers to store in their winter caches under the boulders of the alpine.  This is what they will survive on during the long harsh winters of the high Colorado Rocky mountains. I will be sharing numerous pika photos over the next few weeks. Here is a set of mighty jumping pikas. They are unbelievably fast and dart through the rocks like there's no tomorrow! All of these images were captured with a Nikon Z8 and Nikkor 800mm F6.3 PF lens, F7.1, 1/4000sec, various ISO's, and all handheld and cropped
