Daniel Cadieux and I were lucky to see this nearly all white snowy last winter. He wondered into a patch of field that had been claimed by a female snowy and the female chased him away whenever she saw him. We were just walking down a fence line with our gear when Daniel spotted him dropping from a high utility pole along the other side of the fence. I managed to put in a few shots with the wrong setting and over exposed by about 1EV. Amazingly the white was not blown :)!!!
