[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77633190, member: 628"] So the birds got very quiet while it was darkening. Some were flying very low and others like hawks were just sort of circling. I heard an owl. Deer that were active in the morning disappeared. Insects that were pollinating flowers were acting sluggish. The frogs in the pond started singing as if it were evening. It was sort of spooky how quiet everything got until I heard the owl and frogs. As soon as it started to get lighter, the birds were chirping as if it were dawn. The frogs quieted down and robins started hopping on our yard again. The insects started acting normal and attending to the flowers.It just seemed like everything was thrown off for a bit not sure what to do during that short period of time. Although the birds started to get quiet before the totality like they sensed it was coming. Squirrels just flat out disappeared. It’s amazing how quickly animals can tuck themselves away and how quiet they can get so quickly only to reanimate just as quickly as soon as the sunshine returned. I know it’s not earth shattering but being in the midst of it in the woods was a very unique experience. [/QUOTE]
