Movie of pics during the solar eclipse totality!
(movie)
Our totality started at 3:20 pm. The sun and moon were totally covered by clouds, but it went totally dark for 3 mins and 38 seconds and the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. I was watching from my backyard surrounded by my neighbors. I really wish we had been able to see the eclipse, but the total darkness was very cool!
Interestingly, Neander left the eggs at 3:08 pm.
The 4 eggs were left uncovered for only a moment.
Nova took over incubation at 3:10 pm.
Nova did a lot of looking around as darkness descended for the little over 3 mins.
At 4:48 pm, Nova is still in th nest box dozing.
