For safety, I made a hole on a biscuit and let the solar rays come through onto a white paper (shown upside down).
It took about an hour from the start till the finish. Because of the partial one in my area, it did not get very dark. It did, however, became halfway hazed just like with smog. Also it became cold with the sun's energy being obstructed.
What happened to birds around here? First of all not many birds visited my backyard as if they knew something weird was happening and they rather stayed home. Per the Science Dept report from the University of Washington, crows communicate: their parents tell their off springs what to watch out, which continues thru generations. So were they careful today? Have they told other birds to watch out also? Close to the end of the solar show, a Northern Flicker was squawking loud at the top of a neighbor's tall tree.
"The sun is back now, everyone."
"A young Scrub Jay came down to let me know he was doing fine."
