This is actually a cellphone pic but I thought it warranted posting
here.
Awaiting comments.

Wow! A great capture - I've never before seen how a rainbow looks from
an aircraft!

I've taken the opportunity to have a stroll around your web site too.
I'm very impressed at the quality of your work and with your complete
openness. I'm sharing my post with 'my' Usenet group to demonstrate how
'good guys' behave on the Internet.

I really enjoyed the video he-

+1. But surely the video is a goldfinch and a greenfinch?

I do believe they are a pair of goldfinches, the female on the right.
I don't think greenfinches are common in NE US where this is from.

OK. It's been a while since I watched a lot of birds and kept a book
ready to hand for identification purposes. Here in the UK, greenfinches
are relatively common (IIRC the sexes are very similar) while
goldfinches are normally a rare treat (at least to this casual birder).

[alt.comp.workshop removed: OT there, I would imagine]

UK here too. The bird on the left is definitely not what the UK would
know as a goldfinch http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b020tp6d , and I'm
not sure about the one on the right: this is our greenfinch, but the one
in the vid could be female I suppose
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01sbyhp . Where I live (edge of town)
goldfinches are increasingly common, while it is getting rare to see
house sparrows.

Both birds in the video are American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis). The
one on the left is a summer plumage (breeding) male, and the one on the
right is a summer plumage female.

BTW: Here in North America we also have Lawrence's Goldfinch (Spinus

video are American Goldfinch.

Excellent: thanks! UK goldfinch is Carduelis carduelis; I don't think we
have any Spinus birds, but am open to correction.

Nice pic, gratz. I've seen rainbows from airplane windows, but
never thought to photograph them. That's the difference between a pro
and an amateur, an amateur thinks, "hey, that would have made a nice
pic". After the fact. Happens to me all the time..

A friendly word of advice.

https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php

Do not give ANY personal information to this individual. He is
not in the least interested in photography. He will ask you to stalk
for him, and if you refuse write to your employers/spouse/children in
revenge. Check his history of posts if you don't believe me.
