Some studies suggest that the moon triggers particle flow which disturbs the earth’s magnetic field.
Lunar Phases and their Effects on Life on Earth and Earth Processes

Does the lunar cycle influence Earth? Most people are familiar with the fact that the moon causes the tides in the earth’s oceans. This is because of the gravity forces between Earth and moon. Does the moon also trigger movement in the earth’s crust, which could lead to earthquakes? Many scientists working on plate tectonics dismiss lunar effects as triggers of earthquakes (Kokus, 1987, Cycles); however, some research has been carried out to study the influence of the moon in earthquakes. Kokus and Ritter (1988, Cycles) studied lunar phase triggers in 21 earthquakes. 14 occurred at the quarter phase, five at the full moon and two followed an eclipse. Some scientists claim that the lunar effect is gravitational, i.e. tidal (Ferulano, 1986, Hartzell and Heaton, 1989). A study of 2000 earthquakes demonstrated that they occurred when tidal forces where over the epicenter of the earthquake (Stetson, 1935). While the gravitational effect should be too weak to cause an earthquake, many studies show that there seems to be a lunar trigger. Herman and Goldberg (1978) state that the moon triggers particle flow which disturbs the earth’s magnetic field.
The effect of Lunar Eclipses on Earth Eclipses are known to have an effect on the conductivity of the atmosphere, especially the E-region, which in turn affects the earth’s magnetic field (Bown, 1991). Stening (1989) states the largest effects of lunar tides on the geomagnetic field occur in the morning around the time of equinoxes. Though it seems that a lunar trigger is apparent, geophysicists nevertheless argue that the underlying processes remain obscure and, as discussed in previous commentaries, a solar linkage and possibly other factors also have to be considered.
Mitch Battors from “Earth Changes Media” made the statement in his Dec. 20, 2010 newsletter that earthquakes occurred within two weeks prior and/or two weeks after the last six full lunar eclipses. His speculation was correct that an earthquake would follow the lunar eclipse on Dec. 21, 2010. A 7.4 earthquake occurred on the same day of the eclipse in Japan (see table below).

Pachinyk, (2002) discusses that peaks in earthquakes around equinoxes and solstices also reveal solar linkage and that evidence indicates that there is an interaction between gravitational and electromagnetic fields.
However, when searching scientific literature, the connection between lunar phases and earthquakes are as ambiguous as the connection between the moon and human behavior. Lin et al. (2003) argue that there is a peak in small earthquakes (2.5 to 5) studied in Taiwan between 1973 and 1991, however, the authors did not find a correlation between larger earthquakes (larger than 5) and the lunar phase.

A few paragraphs in ECHCC deal with the influence of the Moon (particularly new Moon and full Moon) on weather and sismic activity:
From the above the Moon is a modulator of the exposure of Earth to Solar winds with the following chain of events for an increase in incoming Solar winds (and vice versa for a decrease).
higher solar activity -> increase rotational speed (slippage) -> increased volcanic and seismic activity
-> more positive ionosphere -> electrons moving up to the surface of Earth -> increased telluric current -> increased seismic activity
Notice that regardless of the level of incoming Solar winds one of the main drivers of seismic and volcanic activity is the variation in incoming Solar winds. The Moon playing an important role in modulating role in modulation incoming Solar rays it can be said that the Moon is an important causative factor for seismic and volcanic activity.
A lunar eclipse being the alignment of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth, it is a cause for Solar discharges (increase conductivity in the Solar capacitor) and therefore the chain events related to higher Solar activity (see above) applies

Here is the path that the shadow of the solar eclipse took:
It doesn't appear that any of the earthquakes from Sept. 1st were in the area of the shadow of the eclipse, although I may have missed one.
The path of the eclipse is irrelevant. What is relevant is the surge of energy that comes after an eclipse that can trigger EM activity anywhere on the planet.
I just wanted to get a note of the DATES of the earthquakes and how many there were following the eclipse and were they significant in terms of number/intensity thus confirming that there was, in fact, a significant surge from an annular eclipse as opposed to a total.
I'm still bound to my chair, working on a laptop, in pain, and I can't go searching for data and stuff and writing on this keyboard is miserable. So, I asked a short, simple question hoping to get a response so I won't have to do all this freaking typing.

The eclipse occurred on September 1st 2016 between 6 am and noon (UTC).
Here are the links to the listing, maps and details of all the M2.5 + quakes after the eclipse (24 hours increments):
9/1/16 6 am to 9/2/16 6 am: 56 quakes Max: M7.1 in New Zealand
9/2/16 6 am to 9/3/16 6 am: 60 quakes. Max: M5.6 in California
9/3/16 6 am to 9/4/16 6 am: 71 quakes. Max: M5.6 in Oklahoma
9/4/16 6 am to 9/5/16 6 am: 46 quakes. Max: M5.3 in Southern Pacific
9/5/16 6 am to 9/6/16 6 am: 33 quakes. Max: M6.3 in Russia
A typical daily activity is about 30-40 quakes with a maximum of about M5.0 - M5.5.
Therefore, it can be said that an increase in quake frequency and magnitude occurred in the few days following the annular eclipse of September 1st.

According to the radar, the birds dispersed approximately 15 minutes before the earthquake took place.
