This months full moon is called a “Buck” moon. It’s called a Buck moon because male deer grow new antlers.
It’s also called a Thunder” moon because of the big summer storms!

ROMEO AND JULIETTE’S FLOWER MOON
This months moon is called a “Flower” moon. You can see what happens when the clouds snuff the light. The birds are silhouettes but If it was in golden light this shot would be excellent.
Juliette was coming over to say hello! I was glad to see her up and about!
ROMEO’S MOON
A SUPER PINK MOON
I was so happy to see Juliette! She has one or two eaglets back in the nest. She likes to stretch her wings each day. She also sang a little song for me! Thats her in the top picture on the right watching her Romeo doing a fly by.
SUPER WORM MOON
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!

MOE’S MOON
Moe rarely poses for me! Maggie flew away from me. I must admit that hurt a bit. I haven’t seen her in months. I’d stop by and look for her but could never see her anywhere? Eagles do get upset If you do not stop in to say hello. They act just like humans!
A TALON MOON
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is coming up on Saturday July 20. I remember watching the black and white TV images and holding my breath! Very few moments in human history have had so many people doing the same thing at the same time!
The Eagle landed in the sea of Tranquility on July 20th,1969. The Apollo 11 crew were Neil Armstrong,Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin went down to the surface while Collins stayed in the Columbia orbiting the moon.
My eagle friends and I salute all of the good souls who worked so hard to make this remarkable achievement!
THE DAREDEVIL’S MOON
MAGGIE’S MOON
The next full moon is on Tuesday.Both Monday and Tuesday look poor for weather. So I knew tonight would be my only shot at getting a eagle/moon shot. I looked around at the usual spots but couldn’t find a single eagle perched perfectly for me. Thankfully I found Maggie perched on top of a tree! I’ve never seen her perch on this spot before.Normally she’s down lower. She saved my butt!
Februarys moon is called a “Snow” moon.

NEW YEARS MOON
ROMEO’S ECLIPSE
Believe it or not,I asked Romeo to come over to this spot…….& he did!It was the only perching spot he goes to that had a clear sight of the moon in behind.He even turned sideways! Such a good boy!
MOON LAUNCH
British Columbia is in the midst of 130 active forest fires at the moment with no relief in sight!
The intense heat makes huge thermal plumbs.Finer particulate rises but the heavier particles sink.The heavier particles act like water.They flow down valleys to the ocean.We are under outflow conditions right now.The wind normal moves from the west to the east.In “Outflow” conditions the wind direction reverses.So we (Vancouver island) are not only getting all that smoke haze but also hotter air from the interior!
I’ve been watching as the haze has migrated to the west coast.I always love these conditions photographically!
Btw,I’m not saying forest fires are good,just the affect of them on the suns colour.
All this suspended particulate matter blocks the weaker wavelengths from getting through our atmosphere to our eye.Only the longer more powerful wavelengths can make it through. “R.O.Y.” Red,Orange & Yellow. Thats why the suns colour changes.
The outflow forest fire haze will thicken in the days to come,shifting the suns colour towards pinkish/orange!
EAGLE MOON
Romeo thankfully posed for me with the moon.The moon was perfect but all night I couldn’t find any of my eagle friends anywhere?
ROMEO & JULIETTE’S MOON
SUPER MOON
A “Super Moon” will occur this Monday (Nov 14th/16).It will be about 30,000 miles closer.To give some perspective,It’s about 25,000 miles around our equator.
Lets hope our weather will be clear enough to view this cosmic wonder? It won’t occur again till 2034.
FULL MOON TONIGHT
It’s a full moon tonight but because of bad weather,I’m not going to see it.So I decided to post some previous moon shots. I’ve found eagles to be a excellent subject to take pictures of when the moon is rising.They’re both up in the sky.
Tonight is what they call a “Hunters” Moon.(the first full moon after a harvest moon)
EAGLE MOON
MOON EAGLE
I do not know this eagle.It was in a spot that made it easy to line the moon up in behind.
MOON SHOT
I found a second eagle that was up high so I could put the moon in behind.

MOON EAGLES
I do not know these eagles but they just happened to be in a great spot to shoot them with the moon!
A MISTY EAGLE MOON
Some cloud moved in just when the moon was perfect!
I saw the moon all of a sudden & raced over to Deadman island to take some eagle/moon shots but within a few minutes the cloud had moved in!

SAM’S MOON
This is a eagle I haven’t named for years. He & his partner own this territory,Almond Islet. I go by there from time to time. They do not perch on Almond islet very often. I suspect their nest tree is on Warne island?
