In the summer of 2007, Eric Sargis, Associate Curator of Mammalogy, joined a crew that spent two weeks collecting collared pikas (Ochotona collaris) and other small mammals at Twin Lakes (Lake Clark National Park) and Kenibuna Lake.

Located west of Anchorage, Alaska, USA, this area is both ecologically unique and breathtakingly beautiful. Well-known for two active volcanoes, sprawling tundra, and stunning turquoise lakes, Lake Clark National Park is a fantastic location for mammalogy fieldwork.

This expedition was funded by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
