Here in Poplar Bluff, MO we got a total eclipse. The strangest animal activity I saw was with wild birds. About 20 seconds before totality there were no birds on the ground. I saw a dove, a crow, a cardinal, a robin and a woodpecker all roosting in one tree. The temperature dropped, the street lights came on and the city put on a fireworks display that lasted all most as long as the eclipse but it came back much faster than it developed.
Only 87% coverage in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Watched from 7th floor of the hospital. One of our Physical therapist brought in glasses! Very cool! Thought the live was a great idea! Thanks Gary. ❤
Gary, thank you for doing double duty today by letting see all these results. So many of us that didnt get to see this ourselves. Love and prayers for all of your family, friends and furbabies🥰🙏❤️👏🐕🐓🦙🫏🐐🐂🐈⬛✝️
The eclipse has passed us here in Texas. We were 98% totality where we were. It got a little bit dark, but nowhere like night. The temp did drop and it got quite cool. I did hear one cow moo, but the animals didn't react in any way that I could tell. We don't have chickens so I couldn't tell if they would start to roost.
We were in the path of 100% totality and it was absolutely beautiful. I was almost in tears and words can't describe it. And it got SO, SO dark outside. A truly incredible sight with the naked eye. I understand why people travel so far to witness one now.
We could definitely tell the temp difference. Our animals didn't do anything....well our one pen of chickens roosted but the other did not. Thank you for posting
We had a total eclipse in Oregon 2017. It was a amazing.. Everything got so quiet on the farm. The colors changed so much before it went dark and the temperature dropped. It's an amazing event to experience.
I went to DuQuoin, IL to enjoy the eclipse with friends. We had 3+ minutes of 100% totality. Not pitch black but deep dusk. Temp dropped 11 degrees. Wood bees came back to their nest and buzzed really loud. Wild birds got quiet.
In my area in San Antonio we had lots of clouds, however we we're able to see the Eclipse in between clouds. And it got dark and solar lights and street lights came on. All the neighbors were outside and we talked about how amazing it was.
98.4% coverage in Livonia, Michigan. A neighbor and his daughter drove to near Toledo, Ohio, where they experienced totality!!! Mathew said the experience was "awesome and like nothing he has ever seen before". He was so thankful to have the opportunity to experience totality. In 1973, the college astronomy club students and professor, drove to Prince Edward Island on the line of totality. Crickets chirped, birds stopped flying, the sky darkened, the tide stopped, you could hear thousands of clicks from the hundreds of cameras, could hear many different languages from scientists from all around the world, air temperature dropped, and the totality seemed to last for 5-6 minutes. Unforgettable!
Hey Gary here in Ontario it was totality at 3:18 it was extremely dark out enough that our street lights came on! So exciting! Thanks so much for sharing yours! ❤
Here in Houston was thick clouds. It got some darker for a few minutes. Thank you for your letting us see your experience with the eclipse. Hugs. Texas
I live in Southern Indiana and at 2:03 we were at total eclipse. It was crazy everything was quiet when it got dark and the temperature went down 10 degrees. When it started getting light again the birds started chirping. It was wild
Thank you for sharing. In 2017 on my farm in Oregon don't remember what the percent was. But we almost got real dark and our chickens were headed to their coop. By the time they got to their coop it was starting to go day light again. It was funny
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Chicago area had several celebration sites on the news. Such a fun way to compare the eclipse percentage differences. Blessings from northern Illinois.
South Texas Eclipse disappointment! So cloudy i could not see anything it definitely did not go black out at best color of evening sunset and our spot was 100% blackout. Very disappointing
Yes Gary thank You and Great Job!! The Animals are just trusting the Lord and No Worries. like we should. I know it is hard but it is what God says to do. Trust in him.. for I have made All Things.. Happy You seem to really enjoy the Video too.. I know Jason at Cog Hill Farm sure did.. He had Cameras sat up every where.. LOL My Son was in TX and sent pictures and my Grand Daughter was in IN with Total Blackness. She was Super Happy
From southwest indiana, just went through the eclipse, it got dark like evening and the highlight and solar lights came on. No change in the animals except the roostr got all his hens together in 1 place.
I am here in southern Indiana in the path of totality! I noticed the cool air and all the crickets came out! Our pole light came on also! It was so cool to see the diamond and the Arora around the edges !! ❤😊
Thank you so much Gary! We only got a couple of minutes of dusk like shade here in SC. On top of being further outside the line for a good view, it was partially cloudy in SC as well, so your efforts to share the eclipse with us was appreciated!
Thank you very much for showing the eclipse I'm in Tucson Arizona and I didn't see it here so I really appreciate your spending so much time showing the eclipse it was great. Thanks again!❤
Thank you Gary i rewatched as time difference in Australia 🇦🇺 Apprieciate you showing us .as was only in America. We had one last yr but only like you on west coast .we have another in 4 yr s .have a great day .Thank you again 😊
I live in Ozark, Missouri. My apartment outside lights along the sidewalk came on, and it got really dark inside my apartment!My 2 girls (chaweenies) didn't do anything different but look at me cause it was so dark in the apartment.😂 It got cooler here, too. I didn't have any glasses so I wasn't able to watch it. Thanks for showing us the eclipse with the glasses and how the animals reacted. That was so cool! I'm kind of a nerd about that kinda stuff, too. Was hoping to be able to see it with the phone but I couldn't find anything that said you could veiw it.🤷🏻♀️ God bless.😊
It didn’t go total dark here, just like late afternoon, we had 97 percent in My part of East Texas. It did grow really quiet during the time but nothing spectacular. Disappointing for sure, I don’t know what I expected, but something…. 😂😂😂😂
I am in Ohio I also was at 97% totality. I was outside planting onions. It felt good that it cooled down. I had 1 roosters that crowed the entire time of the eclipse. They didn’t roost, but they did get under cover. Nothing terrible different.
Sorry I didn’t get to catch your live. I expected it to look darker there. The camera may not have done justice because it looks light. The lack of reaction in the chickens really surprised me. The temp drop was interesting. Here in Southwest Tennessee, we got 98% and saw it very well in spite of earlier cloudiness. Love your channels. Thanks for coming on live today.
Correct about the camera compensating for the lower light as it tries to give a good picture even in very low light. It wouldbe neccessary to disable the compensation in the camera to get the real effect on camera. One of the problems of modern fully automatic cameras.
I appreciate your temperature experiment we had total eclipse in Indiana and what I noticed right away was the temperature drop and I hadn't expected that. I was warm and then had to run in and get a jacket. Total darkness in the middle of the day was an experience all our solar lights came on, it was a bit crazy!
When it was full in Dallas I was in Houston . I was sitting on my porch outside & temp dropped & it got cool & windy.Dogs sat right ne t to me & wouldn't budge. Strange how they react. ❤❤❤
my sister and her husband went somewhere to watch it but i just can't remember where she said...we are in East tennessee so i think she said they were going north a bit....its way too cloudy and rainy here to see anything....so thanks Gary for taking us along
I thought the same, kind of like a sand storm! So cool, all of a sudden it got dark and then the light came out bright again!! I work in a doctor’s office and they blocked off a couple of appts so we could go out and see it!
Gary, as a fellow 'Nurd' (or is it 'Nerd' ?), I really enjoyed your video clip today in regards to the solar eclipse !! It wasn't too apparent here in San Diego, CA. Oh, well !!
Hi Gary, pointing the camera at the sun would not be harmful for the viewers as the brightest we could get is the brightness of our screens, not of the Sun. At a few percent, you wouldn't harm the camera either and you would then see a better view of what the darkness is like. Wthout pointing it at the sun, the camera compensates for the lack of light and so the pictures we saw looked like pretty well full daylight throughout the video so we didn't really see any effect of totality.
I live in a Dallas suburb, we had full coverage and roads into Dallas were closed because of to many people. The clouds moved long enough for us to see the whole eclipse.
In Syracuse ny we saw a shadow of the sun covered up behind the clouds. Dissappointed, but it got dark like they said and the birds were very quiet, saw a bit when it started to move off, but that's it. It was like God opened up the clouds for us to see a peek.
Out here in SoCal it wasnt much of anything, I had to work and it was slow. Thanks for doing this I thought it would be interesting to see what the animals would do, its good that your wife got the kids out of school, back in 79 I went to school and they kept us in the aduitorium and didnt get to experience it but watch it go dark briefly
Here in Poplar Bluff, MO we got a total eclipse. The strangest animal activity I saw was with wild birds. About 20 seconds before totality there were no birds on the ground.

Gary, thank you for your thoughtfulness in walking us through this experience with you on the farm. Continued blessings!
Gary, your pictures of the eclipse are really nice. Thanks for sharing, God Bless the Walkers. 🥰🙏❤️🥰🙏❤️

I didn't travel because I've lived through a couple eclipse and I'm 72 years old. It's good to see TH-cam channels and how excited they get.
The eclipse has passed us here in Texas. We were 98% totality where we were. It got a little bit dark, but nowhere like night. The temp did drop and it got quite cool. I did hear one cow moo, but the animals didn't react in any way that I could tell. We don't have chickens so I couldn't tell if they would start to roost.
Here in Nova Scotia, I was 19 years old when we had a total eclipse. Very eerie as the birds stop chirping and it feels like you go deaf. Enjoy evry1
It was like that here in Davenport Iowa 😮
We traveled 5+ hours to get to the 100% totality. Totally worth it!! Our grands had the best time. We found a park to watch it.
That is awesome!
My husband and I want to thank you for bringing the eclipse to us here in central California. It was great ♥️
Our pleasure!
We were in the path of 100% totality and it was absolutely beautiful. I was almost in tears and words can't describe it. And it got SO, SO dark outside. A truly incredible sight with the naked eye. I understand why people travel so far to witness one now.

Same here in Ontario Canada Wallaceburg Ontario Canada announce warming back up
Hi Gary, thanks for showing us the eclipse, so kind of you, it was awesome! Take good care, Kathy
Thank you Gary for sharing everything.God bless you.
Hi Walker Family. I saw the Solar Eclipse, in Massachusetts Through special Glasses. It was beautiful.❤
Thank you for sharing the eclipses ,I really enjoyed watching and learning about animals during the eclipses.❤😊
💜💜💜 Best show ever! Was hooked to dialysis machine while it was happening, so,this was a real,treat! Bless the Walkers!
We had a total eclipse in Oregon 2017. It was a amazing.. Everything got so quiet on the farm. The colors changed so much before it went dark and the temperature dropped. It's an amazing event to experience.

Yes they were good pictures and being accommodating by putting the glasses on the camera. Thank you and God bless!!🥰🤗🤗
Very wise setup there. Look, ----Doss Farms !!😊
There was a 87% eclipse of the sun here in NW Georgia, but there was a Total Eclipse..... of the Heart! (us 80's kids get it 😉🎶)
In my area in San Antonio we had lots of clouds, however we we're able to see the Eclipse in between clouds. And it got dark and solar lights and street lights came on.
All the neighbors were outside and we talked about how amazing it was.
Gary, Thanks for sharing the Eclipse, and the animals reaction.
Thanks Gary I really enjoyed this recording of the live show today it was amazing to see the solar eclipse
Thank you for doing this, I am in MS so it was much. I am 75 in a wheelchair so I didn’t go outside so I appreciate what you did.
Gary, thanks for doing this. Interesting and love the demonstration with the plates.
Wow awesome pics of the eclipse. Beautiful turkey 🦃
Have a lovely day.....
Thank you! You too!
You did a wonderful job during the eclipse! I truly enjoyed it! Thanks
It was a little darker here when i woke up from my nap! My son said it was from the eclipse! Thanks for sharing!! 🧸
Thank you Gary from SW Idaho We only had 30%, Really enjoyed this coverage of your eclipse !!
Thank you!! I really enjoyed the eclipse from your farm
❇️💞❇️
Thanks for sharing your eclipse from your farm in Oklahoma ❤ enjoy your blessed day XXXO 💕😁
Thank you. Gary. Here, near Pittsburgh PA, we didn't get anything. So disappointing. All the schoolss had an early dismissal
It was totally dark here. When the sun came back out the birds went to chirping like it was morning. Was pretty cool even if we did have clouds!❤
98.4% coverage in Livonia, Michigan. A neighbor and his daughter drove to near Toledo, Ohio, where they experienced totality!!!

Here in Houston was thick clouds. It got some darker for a few minutes. Thank you for your letting us see your experience with the eclipse. Hugs. Texas
It was 1:44 here and dark as night. There was a bright star just to the right of it. Dallas Tx
Gary, you would make a good weather announcer. Lol. 😊
We had 100% totality in Jonesboro,AR today. We are Northeast AR. It was not as dark as I thought but it was very calm and peaceful.
Thanks Gary for sharing the eclipse and temp. I got some wonderful pics by turning my back to it .
I watched the shadow crawl across my yard. Because being wheelchair bound makes it hard to get out.
I live in Southern Indiana and at 2:03 we were at total eclipse. It was crazy everything was quiet when it got dark and the temperature went down 10 degrees. When it started getting light again the birds started chirping. It was wild

South Texas Eclipse disappointment! So cloudy i could not see anything it definitely did not go black out at best color of evening sunset and our spot was 100% blackout. Very disappointing
Us too, @deborahcasey2264 just outside San Antonio just looked like late evening/dusk here.
East Texas was cloudy but the sun peeked out enough where we could see it. It got really dark here. Didn't stay that dark fir long.
I am not here just for the animals I am here for your awesome Christian family and the sharing of your family life.
Yes Gary thank You and Great Job!! The Animals are just trusting the Lord and No Worries. like we should. I know it is hard but it is what God says to do. Trust in him.. for I have made All Things..

You’re doing better than at showing the eclipse than any place I could have been! Thank you soooo much
You're welcome!!
Thank you for sharing with us very kind and I have enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing the special event with us and how it effects the livestock 😊
That was great Gary! Thanks for sharing, we didn;t get to see as much as ya'll here in Georgia, Awesome, I like the nerd facts! Lol!❤❤❤
From southwest indiana, just went through the eclipse, it got dark like evening and the highlight and solar lights came on. No change in the animals except the roostr got all his hens together in 1 place.
Seattle is cloudy, I won't be able to see it. So I'm very glad to watch it with you. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
You can't see it without your glasses Gary 😂😂😂
Where I live in Virginia, we saw 90 percent cover. The honey bees quit flying. What a mighty God we serve.
Love the games and the action. All of you are so awesome playing. ❤ God Bless you all!
I am here in southern Indiana in the path of totality! I noticed the cool air and all the crickets came out! Our pole light came on also! It was so cool to see the diamond and the Arora around the edges !! ❤😊
Gary, Thank you for sharing the Solar Eclipse
Thanks for the updates! In Calif. Take care, and God bless you all!
Thanks for sharing,,Good video,,here in Maysville,Ky,,,it cooled down as well.
AWWW,,Mr Jingles is so pretty and big.,,Cuddly guy🐾🐾
Thank you so much Gary! We only got a couple of minutes of dusk like shade here in SC. On top of being further outside the line for a good view, it was partially cloudy in SC as well, so your efforts to share the eclipse with us was appreciated!
Interesting! Thank you for following the path of eclipse
Thank you Gary for the video, I’m in the UK and didn’t see anything 😩 so that was really interesting to see ❤️
Thank you very much for showing the eclipse I'm in Tucson Arizona and I didn't see it here so I really appreciate your spending so much time showing the eclipse it was great. Thanks again!❤

Here in Southern Illinois, the sky got darker this year than in 2017. It was awesome and we even seen a comet which was amazing.
I live in Ozark, Missouri.
My apartment outside lights along the sidewalk came on, and it got really dark inside my apartment!My 2 girls (chaweenies) didn't do anything different but look at me cause it was so dark in the apartment.😂 It got cooler here, too.

That was so cool! I'm kind of a nerd about that kinda stuff, too. Was hoping to be able to see it with the phone but I couldn't find anything that said you could veiw it.🤷🏻♀️ God bless.😊
I noticed zero activities of birds or squirrels.
Two butterflies were busy though.
We only had 80% here
It didn’t go total dark here, just like late afternoon, we had 97 percent in My part of East Texas. It did grow really quiet during the time but nothing spectacular. Disappointing for sure, I don’t know what I expected, but something…. 😂😂😂😂
I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio and we got to see all of it❤❤❤❤
In CT it’s cloudy and the only difference is we lost shadows.
Watching this post after eclipse and my health caused me to stay indoors during the eclipse so I'll watch replay with you all..😊
I am in Ohio I also was at 97% totality. I was outside planting onions. It felt good that it cooled down. I had 1 roosters that crowed the entire time of the eclipse. They didn’t roost, but they did get under cover. Nothing terrible different.

@@ericvandeweyer1766 Thanks so much for the explanation. Glad to know it wasn’t just my imagination!🤭
Catching up with the Walkers My Hens all stood still when it happened

I was warm and then had to run in and get a jacket. Total darkness in the middle of the day was an experience all our solar lights came on, it was a bit crazy!
Thanks for sharing Gary. Very interesting the way the temp dropped.❤❤❤❤
Thanks Gary, we only had a brief one. We were only partial. God bless ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Gary, we didn't have much of an Eclipse because it was pretty much over cast. It did get a little cooler out.
💖❤💘💝💓I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great day!!!!
Thank you for sharing your video. This is very interesting:) I always wondered how this would effect the animals, too :)
When it was full in Dallas I was in Houston . I was sitting on my porch outside & temp dropped & it got cool & windy.Dogs sat right ne t to me & wouldn't budge. Strange how they react. ❤❤❤
It’s dark here! The birds are ssinging like it’s time for bed!
my sister and her husband went somewhere to watch it but i just can't remember where she said...we are in East tennessee so i think she said they were going north a bit....its way too cloudy and rainy here to see anything....so thanks Gary for taking us along
Wow never seen a combination scratcher and fly repellant,,,Perfect and they use it.
I thought the same, kind of like a sand storm! So cool, all of a sudden it got dark and then the light came out bright again!! I work in a doctor’s office and they blocked off a couple of appts so we could go out and see it!

Day felt like it was going to rain. Cloudy, with breeze temp cooler & it felt nice.
Wow Gary that was wayyyyyy cool! Thank you for showing that!

Thanks for the pictures of the Eclipse, nice shots!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
In independence, Missouri it dimmed down to where you almost had to turn your lights on in your house
Went outside, it dimmed quite a bit, but not dark at my house in lndependence, Mo but cooled down quite a bit
Out here in SoCal it wasnt much of anything, I had to work and it was slow.

Thank you very much! Really enjoyed you doing this. All we had were clouds near nashville.
Thanks Gary for sharing your video. In Indiana we saw it at 3: 00 .
