This one's (mostly) for fun.
Pikas can be pretty busy in the summertime, making haypiles, eating (and re-eating), and guarding against predators - and nosy videographers.
The music is "Dragonfly" by Pearl Django - http://www.pearldjango.com/ - and it suits these lagomorphs really well.
Thanks in part to their ability to withstand winter cold, pikas may be imperiled by warming climate. The evidence in this regard is as yet inconclusive, which may be why the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declined to list the American Pika as endangered in 2009.
Several science projects, including one run by the National Park Service, aim to improve our understanding of pikas and their climate sensitivity. Happily, the projects provide opportunities for citizen scientists:

Description: English: Example of male parenting in the form of grooming and licking the pup(s). When the video begins (viewer’s lower left hand box), the pup is latched onto one of the four mammary glands that California female mice possess. Once the pup detaches from the female, the male parent begins to lick both the anogenital and non- anogenital region of the pup. Another example of partner grooming (viewer’s upper right hand box). Again, the male (shaved back) is observed grooming his female partner. Date: 2013. Source: Video S2 from Rosenfeld C, Johnson S, Ellersieck M, Roberts R (2013). "
