The Full Beaver Moonrise tonight from our upstairs. The full moon is actually at 8am tomorrow, so either tonight or tomorrow night are effectively both full moonrises. Tonight's was partially obscured by clouds on the horizon, but once it cleared the cloud cover the moon was gorgeous. This is a super moon....meaning that the moon it's at the closest to the earth in its orbit. The November Full Moon is most commonly called the Beaver Moon" which refers to the time when beavers were most active in building their dams and lodges before winter. It was also the best time for early colonists and Native Americans to trap beavers for their pelts.
