I should note that the window in our bathroom is not tinted and opens up to a foyer, which itself has a window, so I can see clearly out to our backyard. Anyways.

Still have no clue what that was. Was not a thunderbird, or how people would traditionally describe them. This was 110% a snow owl like pic related, very white and was slightly hard to see with the fresh snow fall. Got other stories too, some mine and some of my friends'.
