the SNOW in the CBC

It was nearly a snow-free CBC.  Fifty degree temperatures kept it remarkably pleasant and there wasn't a bit of snow on the ground. 

Which left a Snowy as the only snow for the day.  It eventually looked at us.

We were rapidly determined to be inedible and after that this was the predominant look we got.

Here it's looking at an airplane.

The digi-scoped version.

Based on there being some retained (faded) feathers in the scapulars and (I think) tertials, this bird is over a year old, and based on the amount of markings probably an adult female.
