I even wonder how deer might act such as feeding and moving.

It's gonna catch a lot of birds way away from their normal roost areas too I believe. Last edited by YEKRUT; 08/20/17 02:42 PM.

They usually roost right at or slightly after sundown and the eclipse will only be as dark as right after the sun goes below the horizon i.e. sundown. I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine
