My Amazing Chicago Deer React to the Partial Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024

The Partial Chicago Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024 lasted from about 12:42pm CDT to 3:18pm with a cool breeze, chirping birds flying to their nest then quieting, and dimming sunlight. Suddenly, at 2:35pm two spirited deer leapt out landing on my lawn as if it was dusk and began to feed. A crazed world.
