Hah! I have a 2017 eclipse story related to this, too!

A few days after the eclipse, we were driving through Custer State Park in South Dakota. There were relatively few cars on the road but Google Maps would inexplicably show these very short red traffic jams.

We quickly realized that we could anticipate upcoming bison sightings as people slowed down to take pictures of them walking (or sleeping) on the side of the road.

That's kinda awesome. I love the idea of bison jams. And using it as a predictor of bison sightings.
