Abstract:

This image archive provides access to a reference collection of photographs from camera traps set at ten different American pika (Ochotona princeps) haypile sites in the eastern Sierra Nevada and spur ranges in Mono County, California during a 2014-2019 occupancy and activity study. Collection includes examples of various pika behaviors documented during study, such as haying, foraging, eating, cheek-rubbing, territorialism and kleptoparasitism; day and night, and during summer, fall and winter. Also includes example photographs of the 25 other mammal species and 10 bird species documented visiting the pika haypiles.
