Nice photos! I haven’t seen a Snowy in person yet. I want to though, as they are so emotive. I like the picture where his head is pulled back and he’s all, “who let you in?” 😆
If you didn’t know, all Snowies start off black as babies, then the adult plumage has the black spots, and the males will lose spots as they age, while females retain most of them. This one just has some speckles at his rear end yet, so it’s pretty reliably going to be a male in this case.

Interesting fact about the spots, thanks for indulging me!
Of course!
