There are crows that hang out at my school. I see them picking around the lunch area outside, but I don’t really know what they like to eat. I’ve tried tossing things to them, but they fly away.

On Wednesday, someone had spilled trail mix on the floor outside my classroom. There was a crow in the courtyard, and I threw a peanut to it. It ate it! Then I threw a cashew. It flew away. Dang.

Then yesterday morning when I walked past the pile of trail mix, it looked like this:

Ha! The crows had found it and eaten all the peanuts and cashews, but left the raisins. So I have learned a little bit about what crows eat – not raisins.

There was another partial eclipse here yesterday. The last one was in October. The October one was on a Saturday. This time, it was a school day. All the kids had eclipse glasses, and we went out at the height of our coverage, which was only about maybe a third(?) of the sun.

I took a picture like last time, and like last time, you can’t see the actual eclipse, but you can see the shape in the lens “ghost”.

Here’s a zoomed in image:

I kept telling the kids they should remember the day. The next eclipse that touches North America is twenty years from now.
