EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a tire-iffic snow day! This adventurous female Ortolan Bunting knows how to weather the storm in style. Seeking shelter from a blizzard in the majestic Caucasus Mountains, she found the perfect spot under the wheel of a lorry. Who needs a cozy nest when you have an upland truck tire as your temporary home? This brave little bird is no stranger to long-distance travel, as she migrates all the way from Asia to Europe. And it seems like she's mastered the art of hitching a ride on vehicles during her journey. With her vibrant plumage contrasting against the snowy backdrop, this photo captures both beauty and resilience. The Great Caucasus provides an awe-inspiring setting for this unexpected encounter between nature and human transportation. As flakes continue to fall, our feathered friend remains unfazed, showcasing her adaptable behavior amidst Mother Nature's whims. April showers may bring May flowers, but in Georgia's mountainous terrain, they also bring unexpected snowstorms! This snapshot serves as a reminder that even in challenging conditions, life finds its way and adapts with creativity. So next time you're caught in wintry weather or stuck behind traffic on your daily commute, remember this determined Ortolan Bunting who turned adversity into an adventure.
