When I was a kid, we had a total eclipse pass over our house

I still remember how, as it got darker approaching totality, the birds would start their “evening song” routine, thinking it was sunset ... then it was quiet for 1 minute of “night” ... then as it got brighter again, the birds started their “morning song” routine, thinking it was sunrise ... all this, in the middle of the afternoon

A special experience, and the combination of locality and good weather makes them hard to see ... go if you can!

I can see that aspect for kids and families, thanks for sharing your memories. I can’t make it, I live in Alaska.
