Full Crow Moon
It was a little cloudy this morning so the pics were not as clear as I hoped. Anyways I copied the following information off of a Facebook post...Full Crow Moon...March 16th
The Full Moon of March is known as the Full Crow Moon, Full Worm Moon, Full Crust Moon, Full Sap Moon, or Lenten Moon. Full Moon names date back to Native Americans from the northern and eastern United States. The tribes kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins, hence the name Full Worm Moon. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.
