• Story of the image

  Snow-covered landscapes bring picturesque scenes of winter wonder, but beneath the serene white blanket lies a harsh reality for many wildlife species, particularly scavenger birds. Although flying in cold conditions and trudging through snow demand additional energy from scavenger birds, the white landscape camouflages prey and scavenging opportunities, forcing birds to adapt their foraging strategies. The struggle to find food during snowy conditions poses significant challenges to resilient.
