Pica Mistake

Do you see it? Right at the tip of the rock sit a pica.

For over ten years I thought a pica was a small mouse like mammal. I was wrong. So  when I saw this small rabbit like creature running around collecting grass I had no idea what I was looking at. It was not until I bought a mammal book that I discover it was a pica.

All this time through the many vacations, the little varmint running across the road in front of us was not the pica. It was a pica mistake.

Now that this cutie has cross my path, I have found a new love. The pica and the chipmunk have my heart. But I think the pica might have just taken the lead.
