During my trip out yesterday, one of my stops was Babcock State Park. The colors are at peak there right now and are truly amazing.

I sure hadn’t.

Reshared post from +Michael Russell

I wanted to post this last week but was sitting on it so I could post it on +Mike Spinak‘s Wildlife Wednesday . #wildlifewednesday

This is a photograph I made of an American Pika ( Ochotona princeps taylori ) last Thursday on the Chain Lakes Trail in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (Washington State, USA). I walked through the talus next to Bagley lake (4350 feet/1325 meters in elevation) and had not even thought about Pika until I heard the short squeaks of their warning calls. I could then see a few individuals scurrying from their rock perches to safety. This particular Pika came back out to sit on the rock, and I was able to slowly move closer to it to get this photograph. I took many, because you never know when wildlife is going to decide “okay, that is close enough”! I was reminded of lectures on “Flight Initiation Distance” in University. The idea behind FID is that if an individual ceases a necessary activity long before they have to, they will be wasting time better spent collecting food, eating, seeking mates, building shelter etc. If you spend all your time running, you can’t spend that time eating! So when I approached this Pika he/she probably was considering my size, my rate of approach, and other factors before deciding to duck out on any closeup photography opportunities.

Of course, this particular Pika was also (unbeknownst to me) considering my non photographer friend behind me using his point and shoot with the flash still turned on…
