Who is going to take pictures of the eclipse?

During the 2017 Eclipse we got these pics when we saw the light filtered through the leaves of a tree made a great pic of it on the sidewalk and a piece of foam board that was quickly thrown down. So I guess 100 eclipses were seen that day.

I'll be checking on my cats and the doggo instead... we're going to go up on the roofs... lol

"April's total solar eclipse will bring a surreal silence and confuse all sorts of animals"

A total eclipse, like the one happening on April 8, means the sun suddenly disappears at a time of day when it shouldn't — and that can have some surprising effects on animals' behaviors.

During previous eclipses, people around the globe have noticed a surreal silence as birds, bugs and animals interrupted their normal activities.

And researchers have observed all sorts of unusual things at zoos: Flamingos gathered in a circle around their babies to protect them. Giraffes began galloping around their enclosure. Swarms of birds large enough to appear on radar suddenly left the sky and roosted in trees. Gorillas marched to their dens, expecting their final meal of the day. The ancient Galapagos tortoises started mating.

With a full solar eclipse coming to a large swath of the United States in April, scientists are gearing up to observe animals at multiple zoos in the path of the totality, in part because they were so surprised at what they discovered in 2017 during the last total solar eclipse in the U. S.

Ah- the ol' "use the trees like a hundred little lenses" trick. "Works ev'ry time," says Maxwell Smart.
