Full Crow Moon

Do not forget to watch the Full Crow Moon on March 27th. The name for this Full Moon came from the northern native tribes for the reason that the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Full Crust Moon because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night, or the Full Worm Moon since the earthworms appear from the thawed soil and attract the birds.
As usual, I bring you more the March’s Full Moon names from several Native American tribes:

Abenaki - Moose Hunter Moon
Algonquin - Catching Fish
Anishnaabe (Chippewa, Ojibwe) - Snow Crust Moon
Arapaho - Buffalo Dropping Their Calves
Assiniboine - Sore Eye Moon
Cherokee - Strawberry Moon
Choctaw - Moon of Winds
Comanche - Cottonball Moon
Cree - Eagle Moon
Creek - Little Spring Moon
Haida - Noisy Goose Moon
Hopi - Moon of the Whispering Wind
Kalapuya - Women Dig Camas
Lakota - Moon of the Sore Eyes
Mohawk - Much Lateness
Navajo - Small Plant
Omaha - Little Frog Moon
Passamaquoddy - Spring Moon
Ponca - Water Stands in the Ponds Moon
Potawatomi - Moon of the Crane
Pueblo - Moon When the Leaves Break Forth
Shawnee - Sap Moon
