Seen yesterday: a Great Horned Owl chick, a Western Toad, a double rainbow.<\/p>\n

A recent posting<\/a> showed a Great Horned Owl parent and one of its chicks. Here is the other.

Things to notice in last evening’s double rainbow:
\n\u00a0 \u2022 the darkest region of the sky is between the two bows;
\n\u00a0 \u2022 red is on the outside of the primary bow, but the inside of the secondary bow;
\n\u00a0 \u2022 the colours are best near the horizon;
\n\u00a0 \u2022 the supernumerary bows (faint bows inside primary) are best near the top of the primary.<\/p>\n
