I did not see it but others in my group reported seeing only one star, which they assumed to be Venus and which they saw where the planet should have been, and more than one person reported the horizon over the sea was pink and red. As for animal behavior, sparrows quit flying first, choosing to roost in shrubs below us on the cliffs that extended down to a rocky, coral sea coast. The swallows went to roost just as totality began. I was also struck by the bizarre behavior of some of the humans assembled to watch this rare event. Many barked like dogs or yipped like Indians at the beginning of the eclipse.
Some people swam naked.
One person lifted off in a noisy ultra-lite just at the beginning of totality. Captured by video camera. There was little color. Digital photographs, however, showed the diameter of the corona to extend one full solar width. A long jet appeared to form above the photosphere at an angle of about 7 o-clock on sun.
