This young male has been awake all winter, living on the food reserves he built up last year.

As the sun's warmth returns for just a few weeks, this harsh world is transformed into a rich, high-altitude meadow.

It's what all the pikers here have been waiting for, for almost ten months.

Now they must collect as much food as quickly as they possibly can.

But some of them seem in less of a hurry.

The others are gathering leaves non-stop.

They build haystacks, and that takes a lot of work.

Each mouthful has to be carefully placed to allow the sunlight to dry it.

They also add a few leaves of other plants that contain chemicals, which will help preserve the hay during the winter.

As many as 11,000 return journeys may be needed...

And then it has to be guarded against opportunistic neighbors.

The weather is showing signs of changing.

This piker specializes in stealing from its neighbors.
