Eagles Lay Eggs Full Moon Walk at Coldwater Springs – Saturday, February 27, 2021Inbox
Eagles Lay Eggs Full Moon Walk at Sacred Coldwater Springs Saturday, February 27, 2021 (Hey, hey! Saturday night at a Sacred Site—bring your honey!) Gather at the park entrance, 7pm Park at pay meters on the Hwy 55 access road via credit card/quarters It’s easy for bald eagle parents to keep eggs and young warm in cold, dry weather. The eggs incubate for 35 days and some 80 days later, in September, they will have practiced flying and hunting skills enough to fledge.
Coyote mating season has begun and extends from January to March. Statistically February is the least snowiest winter month, but theory isn’t as good as the gain of an hour-plus of daylight. After Imbolc (2/2), aka Brigid’s Day, Groundhog’s Day, we’re into the second half of winter.
Cardinals are asking what-cheer-cheer-cheer? Red is Brigid’s color as a fire goddess, red is an energy color and the color of February’s favorite holiday, Valentine’s Day.
News from Coldwater is that National Park Service MNRRA (Mississippi National River and Recreation Area) Superintendent John Anfinson has retired with an “acting” super in charge now. Anfinson championed clear cutting the 27-acre campus including the weeping willow considered the “guardian spirit of Coldwater Spring.”
Friends of Coldwater seek to honor our 10,000-year-old landscape ancestor. Full moon walks have been celebrated at Coldwater Springs monthly since 2000. We return to remember the spirits that feed this Spring. Please bring a rattle.
Give a blessing, get a blessing. Blessings travel in circles.

DIRECTIONS: Coldwater Springs is between Minnehaha Park & Fort Snelling, in Minneapolis, just North of the Hwy 55/62 interchange. From Hwy 55/Hiawatha, turn East (toward the Mississippi) at 54th Street, take an immediate right, & drive all the way down on the frontage road where you can park at the pay meters. Gather at the cul-de-sac, which is the Coldwater Park entrance.
All welcome. We observe all covid-19 safety mandates. Dress for the weather, especially sturdy footwear. We celebrate the full moon in all-weather however the length of the walk depends on conditions. If it’s really cold or wet it’s a quick 10-minutes to the spring outflow gurgling from under the limestone bedrock Spring House built in the 1880s to supply potable water to Fort Snelling. This gathering is free and open to the public. #FullMoonWalk #FullMoon #ColdwaterSprings #MinneapolisNature
