Totally awesome! The background transitions are so cool. Looks like you got some great bounce light illumination off the snow too.
Love the sharp details and great light quality.

The "Prairie" merlin is a subspecies. Used to be called Richardson's Merlin. They just renamed them a couple years ago.
