Mike, Thanks for the share. The birds in the first photo looks like a pair. The all white color of the top one suggests it is a male.
CW, No matter your share is from an IP camera. You caught a neat moment of flight of a male bird in the scene. It shows the highly feathered legs and feet.

There was an area near Leach Lake back in the 90's which had a stand of roughly 40 year old red pines. There was a snowy there for at least 3 years running using a nest. I do not think it built it or had young there, just seemed to come back to each winter until the area was clear cut.

Osky, That is an interesting observation. I suspect it was using the nest as a hunting platform to prey on songbirds or small mammals in those pines.
Any chance it may have been a juvenile Barred or Great Horned Owl?
