Honey bees forage purple creeping Charlie ground ivy or skydive up into blooming fruit trees.  Mallard ducklings and Canada goslings are making their downy debuts. American robins begin calling at about 4:30 am and by the end of the month monarch butterflies will flicker back like hope in a screwed-up political world.   Full moon walks have been held every month at Coldwater since 2000.Sunset 8:30 pm  (36 minutes later than last month’s full moon)Moonrise 8:26 pm  (9 minutes earlier)Exact minute of full moon 4:42 pm.
