How will animals react to the solar eclipse

[Catherine]

Libby, I thought you might be in the path of the eclipse. It will be interesting to see if the animals around you react in any way.

The 1999 eclipse was well viewed. LPC, you were in the perfect place to see it. I think saw an eclipse in Winnipeg as a child. I believe it was total or close to it. You are right, it doesn't get dark, but on a sunny day it is quick a contrast when the sun is totally covered. I don't remember animals reacting, but I probably wasn't looking for anything.

I think any other eclipses I saw were actually viewed on TV and not live. I couldn't find one that was total where I was living at the time.

If it was cloudy and stormy weather, I doubt Toby or the other animals would have noticed the sky. It is not that big a change.
It is exciting though.

So, Libby, you have the front row seat. You will have to tell us what you see and observe.
