Even though the eclipse was only partial here in Sedona, it made for quite a spectacular pre-sunset.
Even the cattle recently down from the north, out on the Forest Service open range land, seemed to find it exciting, judging from the loud mooing that arose at different stages.
Just before the peak of the partial eclipse, everything became very quiet. Even the birds stopped singing. The lighting took on a very ethereal quality, quite different from normal, as the moon’s shadow ‘almost’ covered the sun completely.
At that point, the cows broke out into a chorus of moos. Personally, I think they were calling for an encore.
