If the InterTubes are to be believed, according to Native American lore, the first full moon in March is named the "worm moon" because it's when the worms start to make their way to the surface after Winter.
It was also the last super-moon of 2019.
If it looks kind of grainy, you are not wrong, as I had to do heavy post-processing to compensate for the so-so 2X tele-converter I was using with my 170-500mm lens.
This morning we were quite pleased to find a variety of migrants at the Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary and one of the highlights were several Worm-eating Warblers gobbling up every insect in sight. They were so busy noodling around through the vegetation that they presented quite a challenge for photography.

Worm moon reflected in the sea at Oxwich Bay, South Wales, photographed on 18 March 2022, close to the spring equinox on March 20, 2022. This photograph was taken slightly later that the photos for the worm-moon quadtych (flic.kr/p/2naTVEi). The daylight has faded and the contrast between the sky and the full moon means that the features of the moon are lost. This is ISO 100 with a 30 second exposure.
In the desert, mud from flashfloods becomes a highway for the movements of a variety of living organisms. Small mammals and birds leave noticeable tracks across the tableaus of clay as they search for the beetles and worms and centipedes who find their way in and out of cracks searching for other creatures carried in from rain-scoured banks to sustain and or possibly inhabit and infect the locals.
I share this image to project to you our own human traverse across this planet; how the infinitesimal can bring us to its table in a flash; how our movements have made us vulnerable; how we must consider our own large and noisy footprints.
Berthulf was the first known Bishop of Worms in 614. A new church was laid out, with the dimensions of the current building, under Bishop Burchard of Worms at the beginning of the 11th century. He succeeded in persuading the Salians to abandon their fort in the city, on which he erected the Paulus Stift from 1002/3.
The old cathedral was demolished and the construction of the new one occurred simultaneously. It was a cross-shaped basilica with two semicircular choirs, built on an east-west orientation. In 1018, the cathedral was consecrated in the presence of the Emperor, but the western part of the building collapsed only two years later and had to be rebuilt. The church had a flat wooden roof. According to Burchard's biography, the cathedral was magnificently furnished in the 1030s and 1040s. Thus there is mention of columns with golden capitals (which cannot have been the church's main columns).
Most likely, Burchard's cathedral was a pier-basilica, since no remains of columns (difficult to acquire in the 11th century anyway) have been found.
Only the foundations of the west towers and the treasury north of the choir, which was probably built at the end of the 11th century, survived subsequent rebuilding.
In 1110, the cathedral was consecrated for the second time. More damage had probably occurred, whose removal was followed by this renewed consecration.
Wir befinden uns im Chorumlauf der Kirche bei hellstem Sonnenschein...
Man weiß, daß bereits in gotischen Zeiten dieser Chorumlauf mit Glasmaleien in den Maßwerkfenstern ausgestattet war. Diese fielen einem Standbrand im Jahre 1689 zum Opfer.
Bei der fälligen Renovierung der Kirche, 1707 - 1732 wurden neue bemalte Fenster eingesetzt. Zwar überlebten diese Fenster die Aufhebung des Stiftes aber nicht die darauffolgende Neogotisierung ...
Auch diesen Fenstern wiederum war keine lange Spanne vergönnt: die Explosionskatastrophe im Oppauer Stickstoffwerk am 21.09.1921 machte ihnen den Garaus.
Ziemlich schnell - 1922 - wurde die nächste Generation eingesetzt. Auch hier hielten die Fenster nur bis zum 4. 10.1943:
2 Luftminen explodierten in unmittelbarer Nähe...
1945 erfolgte eine Notverglasung, die dann peu a peu seit 1966 durch Glasgemäldefenster ersetzt wurde.
Alois Plum war fast 30 Jahre mit dem Fensterzyklus in dieser Kirche beschäftigt. Erst 1995 konnte das letzte Fenster
übergeben werden.

The Full moon is March is the ‘Worm’ moon. The other names for Worm Moon are Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon and Sap Moon. This is the last full moon before the vernal equinox.
Two more shots from yesterday's Cuckoo encounter, there's more to come too. It was absolutely fascinating watching this bird for 3 hours or so. He would choose a vantage point call for a while then survey the grass and drop down and pick up any worms that he'd spotted, these were obviously on the surface as he never pulled them out of the ground.
Mit den Vorgängern ist dieser Kirchenstandort schon bereits seit 1000 Jahren in Verwendung. Diese romanisch/gotische Kirche wurde nach einem Brand im Jahre 1689 im Bereich des Langhauses 1706-16 als flachgedeckter Barocksaal erneuert. 1945 sind alle barocken Teile bei einem Brand untergegangen und bereits 1947 wurde die Anlage bis auf die barocke Ausmahlung wieder hergestellt.
This Australian Laughing Kookaburra was in a great spot to survey the surrinding grounds for its regular diet of worms and other little creatures.

The full moon of March, called The Worm Moon, will include a total lunar eclipse and a day later tonight. March 13th 2025. It's most brilliance will be 2:55 EDT Hastings, Mi. Barry County.
Beneath the night's dome,
Stars whisper dreams as we roam.
Moonlight's silver beams,
Unite our diverse dreams.
Though miles keep us far,
We all share the same star.
Hearts connect in tune,
Under one bright,
full moon.
This is how the full worm moon for March looked as it set beyond Blackpool Tower at sunrise on Tuesday morning.
The warbler bonanza continues! Worm eating warbler, taken at the Cradle of Forestry, Transylvania County, NC.
Worm-eating Warbler ~ (Helmitheros vermivorum)
One of my favorite warblers, but not one I have had much success with in terms of photos. I was happy to catch this one at Fort DeSoto in a little bit of light.
Thanks for visiting!
