This Snowy seems comfortable standing next to a larger rock. Perhaps a little unusual, because Snowys prefer to perch on a higher location.There is always the possibility of shielding against the wind.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III with the superb 500 f/4 lens, handheld @ 1/800, f/16, ISO 400, with no exposure compensation.

One annoying snow sparkle cloned away. Auto Colour correction applied. Slight Unsharp Mask applied. Of course, cropped for composition purposes.

You can barely make out a bit of snow being blown by the wind just above the large rock.
