Your comment, “It turned out to be one of the darkest, dreariest, ugliest, windiest days I’ve ever seen,” made me chuckle as you haven’t seen dark, dreary, ugly, and windy day until you’ve spent a winter in Michigan. We have stretches of days where the Ev maximum is around 6-8. The day when I shot the Snowy on the ice, the Ev was 10 – a relative bounty of light.

A quick question regarding the exposure on the tack-sharp Sandy, which you indicated had perfect exposure in RawDigger. Was there a rationale for not pulling back the highlights to bring back some detail in the whites on the Sandy’s face as well as the feathers on the trailing wing?
