Each full moon has a name. The March full moon is called a “Worm” moon. This is what I found out about the Worm moon………Native Americans called this last full moon of winter the worm moon after the worm trails that would appear in the newly thawed ground. Other names include chaste moon, death moon, crust moon and sap moon, after the tapping of the maple trees.
Because the orbit is closer this month Its also a Super Worm moon!

I love the moon!
me too! Imagine being on Jupiter and watching its moons….all 79 of them!
Boom… mind blown!
as long as we’re in fantasy land….imagine being able to visit each one or for that matter all the moons in the solar system! Each one would be as unique as people I bet! Different sizes,colours,textures!
“Enceladus” is my favorite!

I’d be ok with google mapping them like earth. I don’t need the miles.
I remember we had a full moon eclipse and it was also called a wolf moon. Probably January because it was cold out, about one or two years ago. Thanks for sharing this info. I like the photos, too!
yep,Wolf moon is January Jane! Best moons are when its so cold out! That means there is usually snow laying about and with the full moon you can see everything! You could physically travel during the night! When I go camping I never go walking about in the forest at night! Might as well tie a bow on me and ring the dinner bell!
But during a full moon with snow all around Its very magical I find!
Eye-popping!
thank you Anne! I couldn’t find the eagle in the darkness until he was silhouetted!
I probably would have discarded the shot without looking at it. You are alert!
I rode my bike out to the beach in the dark to specifically get that shot! I had to walk around until the moon highlighted the nest. I was hoping I wouldn’t be standing in the surf!
You are an intrepid adventurer.

Great photos and information from Wayne 👍😃
thank you Chris! Always good to hear from you!
I always enjoy your photos and commentaries, Wayne 😃
that would make you one of Wayne’s World minion?
next month is called a “Pink” moon
A moon, by any other name, would shine so bright… sorry Shakespeare!
wonderful images btw!
a wonderful word play Jaye,thank you!
I missed this but hope it’s still visible tonight, although on the wane. Beautiful images :)
If the weather is good, meaning no clouds you should still be able to see it Carly.
Thank you for dropping in!
Beautiful pictures, Wayne. This information is interesting.
thank you Robbie,maybe you can work one of them into one of your stories?
Next months moon is a “Pink” moon!
Very Nice! Enjoyed seeing them!
and of course our favourite animal! They should have called one of them a “Eagle Moon”!
Stunning, Wayne! Thanks for that list!
your welcome Terri! The moon holds a real fascination with each person!
I love the moon, few days ago it looked as if it had a face. We have an old walnut tree in our backyard sitting on the sofa you can see the moon trough the branches – just beautiful. Thanks Wayne!
we as humans are wired to see faces in everything including the moon. People have been seeing the “man in the moon” for centuries now.
If you look next time through your walnut tree at the moon you should notice all the branches form circles!
always good to hear from a long time follower Amy,thank you!
Lovely moon catch
thank you Sherry!
Wonderful Photos Wayne, I did not know there were so many names for the moon. Very informative.
your welcome Sandra,next month is the Pink moon!
I wrote your list down, very interesting. When I am up at my farm, I have a wonderful view of the moon as it travels across the sky’s. I can actually see all the stars up there also, there isn’t any light noise at all. It is so dark that the moon, when full, acts as a spotlight. So beautiful.
imagine If we had 79 of them like Jupiter?
It would look like a race way!
Do you have a telescope? If not you should pick one up as it sounds like you have a perfect spot!
:) Not yet, but I am thinking of getting one. I just got a pair of really good binoculars. I will be trying them out this summer up there. I saw one of the biggest telescopes when I was in the south, in someones backyard, it looked like it should be at NASA, it was so big. Now if I could make that into a camera, just think how awesome bird photos would be.
may I suggest a mono pod with a binocular attachment. It steadies the image tremendously! I use mine all the time.

Well, who knew they made something like that. How handy, I use a mono pod, and I have 2 tripods, and one tripod that is so heavy only the husband can carry it. A heavy wind wont budge that tripod for anything. So then I have 2 cameras with me out hiking. And no place for the binoculars until now. Thank you for the link. Sometimes you just don’t think to look for something like that.
Great photograph. Enjoyed seeing the super moon, it was so bright! I’ve just arrived in Calgary, great timing, with -20 and snow…oh well.
WHAT!….you left the protective west coast to go to Calgary? Theres always a flu or micro epidemic going on there!
Remember to wash your hands and count how many fingers you have at the end of the day! I hope Scout’s not upset?
That’s an amazing capture, Wayne!
Thanks Lynette….I get lucky from time to time.
These are stunning images Wayne – almost spooky looking. Nice how you lined your eagle friend up there perfectly!
Thank you Linda! It was hard to find where the nest was in total darkness?
That is the Daredevil and Delilah on the header shot.
I wondered who was “featured” in those shots Wayne – you lined up the perching one perfectly and the landing close to the moon as well.
I always wondered where those names came from! Thanks!
I think the worm moon name must of come from the south as the mud in Canada in March is still pretty hard!
Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I have very learned a lot from you
