Historically, July’s full moon is called the buck moon because it aligns with the time of year where the antlers of male deer, or bucks, are quickly growing, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Other monikers for July’s full moon from Indigenous tribes are indicative of the summer season. The Cree, located primarily in Canada, know it as the molting moon to indicate the time of year when birds are shedding their feathers, while the Tlingit tribe in the Pacific Northwest Coast call it the salmon moon to signify the seasonal salmon migrations. information from…CNN news service
