Oregon’s pika comeback | Oregon Field Guide

In 2016, ""Oregon Field Guide"" introduced you to an isolated population of American pika living in the Columbia River Gorge.

When the Eagle Creek Fire swept through in 2017, about half of those pika colonies seem to have been wiped out.

Three years on, the impossibly cute critters seem to be making a comeback… or are they?

A.combination of researcher and superfan of these little guys sounds like the right scientist in the right place at the right time! As she's moved, I hope Cascade Pika Watch sticks with it.

[GreatOldOne]

These are so cute! I ordered my plush American Pika from Columbia River Gorge. The plush ones look so real.

I hiked the gorge 400 trail today between Ainsworth and Multnomah Falls. I could hear their calls.

ive searched google for years and the longest PIKA video is 10m at best
when will anyone do a 1/2hr documentary on these cute pika's ?

[vertigo]

Heard one of these during our Lower lewis river falls hike in 2022.

It's "peeka", with a long E sound. The original language it's in, Tunguse, is also pronounced as "peeka"

[CareBearGore]

Omfg what the fuck!? THEY ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY CUTE

Thank you for this video it is very informative and really adorable!

[anthonyfalteisek]

How come some videos say pika like a pike and other say pike like "peeka"...I prefer "peeka"

[brianjohnson]

To be more precise, it was the policy response to COVID, not COVID itself, that caused the disruptions in access.

Fire is a beautiful cleansing natural way to clean our forests. The forest service’s and their unwise thinking and practices have been detrimental to the health of our forests .
