     LEVY COUNTY
-- The full moon of July 2026 took place this morning (Wednesday, July 29), reaching peak illumination at 10:36 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), according to the 2026 edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac

     As noted, the July 2026 full moon occurred on Wednesday, July 29, at 10:36 a.m. EDT, and its fullness tracked via data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Scientific Visualization Studio.
     There has been at least one occasion in the past 70 years when NASA and The Old Farmer’s Almanac differed on the time of moonrise by a few minutes. An intrepid and clever journalist on that occasion noted that mathematics and physics then showed that farmers are taller than astronomers. That is not specifically relevant here, but it is fun for one writer to note, especially living in a farming and ranching neighborhood with a bunch of nearby astronomers as friends, too.
     The moment of the Moon reflecting the most sunlight back to the Earth this month happened when the Moon was not visible from the Tri-County Area, and other parts of the Earth.
     Mathematics, astrophysics and the truth about day and night, and probable visibility shows that zero percent of the Earth’s inhabitants could see the exact peak of the July 2026 full moon because it occurred at 10:36 a.m. EDT on July 29, when the Moon was below the horizon for the entire daytime-lit half of the planet.
     As a result of that moment happening mid-morning in North America and in the afternoon and evening further east, the Sun was up and the Moon was positioned below the local horizon for the hemisphere facing it.

     Fear not, good readers. One may miss the brightest moment, but it is still a full moon. Not only is there a nighttime alternative, but one intrepid journalist “jumped the shark” or perhaps leapt over the Moon in a way, as he captured the Full Buck Moon on Tuesday night (July 28).
     As for the nighttime alternative, a full moon looks 100 percent full to the human eye for about a day before and a day after its exact mathematical peak, making it fully visible during the nighttime hours of July 28, 29 and 30 for people on approximately 50 percent of the Earth’s surface at any given night during that time span.
     Here are some more details about this viewing of 2026 Full Buck Moon. It was about 9:30 p.m. on July 28, when a local amateur astronomer who also happens to be a journalist thought to consider trying to take a photo, just in case it was too cloudy on July 29 and 30.
     This particular photographer was still a bit feverish from an allergic reaction to ragweed, which he just learned is his nemesis for clear breathing and not having a sore throat, and coughing, sneezing and running a fever. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, he was essentially down for the count, although he did manage to take care of some business.
     One Claritin, taken once every 24 hours, combined with Bayer aspirin, taken as the label shows, is bringing the writer back to 100 percent. As of late Wednesday afternoon, the journalist was 99 percent back to what he considers feeling normal. And despite illness and fever, he remained happy.
     The primary nicknames for July’s full moon are the Buck Moon, the Thunder Moon and the Hay Moon. These names come from Native American, Colonial American, and European traditions that track seasonal changes in nature, according to reliable anthropological sources.
     “I’m really going to let the Full Buck Moon go,” Jeff M. Hardison said. “I heard a lot of thunder today (July 29) and I have seen hay galore lately as well. Nonetheless, I will give this full moon a new name this year. It is the Loratadine 10 mg (generic Claritin) Tablets Antihistamine Full Moon.”

 


Owl first alerts from a Sunday swim

     THE INK PAD
– Oliver the owl was enjoying cooling off during a Sunday afternoon (July 26) dip in one of the big bird baths at The Ink Pad.

     Then, a squadron of crows expressed their discontent at having to share this resource, even though there are other bird baths on the grounds.
     Really, though, the cawing was more of a serious concern rather than just from not sharing pool time.
     Owls are dangerous to crows, especially when the owls are roosting during the day. The threat of predation by owls, particularly larger owls -- like Oliver, a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), -- leads crows cawing to warn other crows. And they have been known to fly as a group to move an owl away.

Oliver the Owl at The Ink Pad HardisonInk.com
Oliver, a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), notices a human taking his picture after hearing the click from the single-lens reflex camera.
     
     The Ink Pad is home of the 16-year-old multiple award-winning daily news website that primarily serves the Tri-County Area, although there are no geographic limits to potential coverage by the daily news website.
     Oliver, a relatively large owl, was enjoying a small plastic pool that has its water changed often enough to prevent mosquito larva from growing there. This pool serves as a bird bath for quail, crow, pheasants, cardinals, other birds and animals, and it has served as a drinking fountain for deer at night and to quinch the thirst of other creatures as well – night and day.
     Oliver, a Great Horned Owl, had upset the group of crows, where a group of crows are better known as a murder, a horde, a mob, or a congress of crows – rather than a squadron, as mentioned in the second sentence. The crows visit The Ink Pad most mornings as do squirrels and several other animals. A giant armadillo named Anthony has made a home under some wooden steps at The Ink Pad. He comes out late at night. Deer, turkey, wild hogs and other animals are still able to live in the neighborhood, although an influx of humans is reducing the animals’ safe habitat.
     Oliver noticed a cameraman taking his picture as he enjoyed the pool. Click, click.
     Then he flew up to a noticeably short branch of an oak tree. Oliver paused for a glamor face shot as a cloud passed. Then he posed for a profile shot and ended his modeling for the afternoon with a full-on, tufts up, eyes and beak forward photo being completed. He remained roosted on the branch for some hours before flying away.
     It was a hoot for the photographer. The owl had no comment.
