Your Daily Pika: An ode to pika poop! These little peppercorn poops are as adorable as the pika. Pika also eat their feces and the second poop is denser and lasts a long time-years, even decades. Scientists even do carbon dating on it to learn about historic pika trends. The more you know!

Love Yosemite from above! My friend Jennifer Fearing flew over the Sierra yesterday and and shared some photos with me. I added some labels to help with orientation. So cool! Would like to see more snow.
