This is an off topic , but technically, since birds use the Moon as a migration guide its eligible as information news ;)> I am posting this celestial event that is the first occurring on the Winter Solstice in over 3 1/2 centuries -- last in 1638--( but first in three years for northern North America), a Lunar Eclipse where the moon turns deep reddish. Its only the second winter solstice lunar eclipse in the last 2000 years..Of course the drawback is you have to be a true "nightowl" to see it and hope its clear seeing.
The lunar eclipse totality phase starts at 2:41 AM , peaking at 3:17 AM.
