I love pikas and couldn't wait to get back up to the Rock Cut on Trail Ridge Road. I convinced Andy to run up the Ute trail again (this time from our house) and I got to spend time in the high country. This time I tried the pre-focus technique for my pika pictures. I would focus on a rock and then watch the pika run its route. Just when it was coming through my focus area, I would "shoot" away. This little one was pretty far away but it was fun to get some action shots. No pre-focus needed for the marmots. They are in energy conservation mode now. It was fun to see two American Pipits. One was an adult (buff colored breast), the other was a juvenile (streaky breast). I can't wait to get back up to the tundra again!
