After more research on eclipses, found out you need special lens filters for your camera to take pictures of eclipses or overpower the camera sensors. So I'll be ordering an inexpensive one soon (Amazon).

Heads up for parts of Canada, Total Eclipse - April 8, 2024 - Southern Ontario, Montreal, New Brunswick, Newfoundland. There's a variety of websites that will tell you the time for your location if you're near the totality path. Here's a PDF I made for friends & relatives showing the path.

if it's clear tonight, an asteroid is going to occult Betelgeuse in Orion. same idea as a total eclipse as they're expecting it to almost completely disappear for Atlantic observers.

The Owl is my favourite, have had them show up at times when I just needed to see something like that to pick me up a little throughout my life, especially over the past 5-8 yrs

Absolutely beautiful. We got a Birdfy bird feeder (with the camera) - we only had them stop by once so far.

Peanut halves work well for a lot of birds. But will attract squirrels & starlings.

Edit - these were all taken today. About 6 to 8 m/f cardinals came in, along with house sparrows, chickadees, carolina wren, juncos, downey woodpecker. Been a dark day with all the lake effect snow, but lucked out with some on/off sun coming through when they arrived.
