Are you ready to explore the wild side of the Pine Tree State?🌲 Well, get ready to meet the spiky superstars of Maine's forests - porcupines! These "quilled conquerors" are Maine's very own forest fashionistas, rocking their stylish quills like nobody's business. So, let's dive into the fascinating world of Maine porcupines and prepare to be amazed! 🤩

Here's a fun fact: Maine porcupines are expert tree climbers! They've got the moves like Jagger, effortlessly scaling towering trees to indulge in their favorite delicacies - tree bark, twigs, and fruit

Did you know that porcupines are nocturnal creatures? That means they love to come out and play in the moonlight 🌙✨. While we cozy up in our beds, they explore the wilderness, seeking adventure in the dark.

🍁 As the seasons change, so does the lifestyle of our porcupine pals. During the warm summer months, they enjoy dining al fresco under the moonlit sky 🌙🍽️, savoring the taste of wild berries and plants. In the winter, they become cozy homebodies, snoozing in tree cavities and impressing us with their hibernation skills.

🙋‍♀️ Now, it's your turn to share your wild encounters with these quill-tastic creatures! Have you spotted a porcupine in the campground? Or maybe stumbled upon a porcupine during your hikes in Maine? Or maybe you've witnessed a porcupine's fashionable quills up close? Share your stories and photos in the comments below!

Did you know that the moon has a fascinating influence on the tides of our incredible tidal bay? It's true! The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun actually cause our tides to rise and fall in a rhythmic pattern.

When the moon is in its full or new phase, its gravitational pull aligns with that of the sun, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. This is known as a "spring tide" and it happens twice a month. So you can expect some impressive tidal fluctuations during these times!

On the other hand, when the moon is in its first or third quarter phase, its gravitational pull is at right angles to that of the sun, which causes smaller tidal ranges. These are known as "neap tides" and happen also twice a month.

Being a tidal bay means that our landscape is constantly shifting and evolving with the ebbs and flows of the tides. It creates a dynamic environment that is bursting with life and provides endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Whether you're an avid beachcomber or simply love the serenity of watching the tides roll in and out, our tidal bay offers something truly special. So come on over, embrace the magic of the moon's dance with the ocean, and experience the wonder of our tidal bay for yourself!

August has 2 full moons this month. Tonight is the 1st full moon and the 2nd supermoon for the year.

Today's full moon is called the "Sturgeon Moon".

It was named the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of the summer.

What a full moon is named comes from many different places including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources.

Traditionally, the full moon name was applied to the entire lunar month it occurred, not just the full moon.

Other August full moon names:
🌕 "Flying Up Moon" (Cree) Describing the time when young birds are finally ready to learn to fly
🌕 "Corn Moon" (Algonquin, Ojibwe)
🌕 "Harvest Moon" (Dakota)
🌕 "Ricing Moon" (Anishinaabe) These 3 signify the time to gather maturing crops
🌕 "Black Cherries Moon" (Assiniboine) Refers to when chokecherries are ripe
🌕 "Mountain Shadows Moon" (Tlingit)

Make sure to keep an eye out towards the East shortly after sunset to see the Full Sturgeon Moon rising!
