Mountain Lion
Shortly after sunrise I headed out on a ride. Just one block from my house I took a single-track shortcut, came around a corner, and found this big cat padding along the sidewalk only 20 yds away.

Wood Thrush
I found this Wood Thrush in my yard in the flurry of bird activity immediately following the height of the eclipse.
From my eBird report:
Eclipse birds! A noticeable effect on the bird activity: a stillness and hush at the height of the eclipse, the few bird songs sounded similar to whisper, or possibly dawn versions, then as the light brightened, a distinct significant increase in activity.
