Fox Portraits

I know - I have a lot of red fox pictures. These are my fox "portraits." Most have the tail cut off (well, not literally) and emphasize the face and, hopefully, personality.

Pikas

Pika spend their short summers gathering alpine grasses and plant intotiny hay bales that they dry out for use in the winter. They don'thibernate, and are awake and active in their burrows and tunnels. Ifyou get too close to one of their tiny hay bales, they will emit a loud"ENK" noise to get you to back off. They're considereda "canary in the coal mine" species, as they're very sensitive toenvironmental changes.

Pika are also difficult to photograph.They're small (about the size of a small to medium potato), blend inwell with their surroundings, run between and under rocks in the talus,and seems to be constantly on the move.

Mountain Goats

Marmots

jayryser@gmail.com (Jay Ryser Photography) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:20:00 GMT

Marmots and pika are both alpine species that reside above tree line in the mountains. They share habitat and usually co-exist reasonably well. They are both at-risk species due to climate change. Pika in particular are extremely vulnerable to high temperatures (above 80 degrees F), and that severely limits their ability to migrate to new areas.

Marmots eat and put on weight in the short alpine summer so that they can hibernate through the long cold winter. They're also one of the few species that are considered altruistic - that is, they remain in danger to call out warnings to their peers - a loud SQUEAK.".
