Night is falling for the second time today. The totality lasted for about 4 minutes. We were right in the middle of the epicenter’s path across North America. A terrible moonshadow ripping through the day. Things were already weird. Devices not working. Batteries losing charge. Bird song more enthusiastic and then veering to perturbed. We got down to our little lake shortly before the partiality started. The water was moving in a way it never does, like a flattened eddy or a tidal shift in an estuary. Then the moon started moving in front of the sun. 1:59.
What a great description of the eclipse. Thank you. But why the howling?
Humans are an invasive species.
Vivid description, thank you.
