Whistling Pika

Pikas are small rodents with oversized ears, that inhabit rocky terrain in the alpine zone. They scurry very quickly in between the rocks, and are incredibly difficult to photograph. On a recent hike I put a 70-200 f/2.8 lens with a 1.4 TC in my backpack, determined to get a shot of one of these cute fellas. Lucky for me this guy stood still outside his den for a moment, and even proceeded to let out a sharp whistle at the same moment that I was firing a burst.

In case the photo doesn't show up again, here is a link:
