Two particularly weird things that I noticed during our last partial solar eclipse was that the shadows cast by the trees' leaves were all crescent shaped . The other was that because of the lower light conditions, the birds at the Boston Common reverted BACK to their early morning activity. That meant pigeons headed back to their roosts, morning song birds started up all over, and a red-tailed hawk swooped low over the people looking for another morning meal.
Sometimes the most interesting things are things you weren't looking for in the first place.
I also keep an eye out for rings around the sun and moon (ice crystals in the upper atmosphere), sun dogs an moon dogs. The last two you have to know what to look for.
