Lars, it was Feb. 26, 1979. I was in Salem at the time and noted birds,
mainly robins, doing their morning songs as we emerged from the darkness.
Here in Bend we were at 99.7% totality, but it was amazing how light it can
be with only .3% of the sunlight coming through. Was it dark enough to see
stars in the path of totality?
