Name: Full Moon Rising Over Killin Wetlands
Start: 2026-01-03T15:30:00-08:00
End: 2026-01-03T18:00:00-08:00
Location: Killin Wetlands Nature Park

The full Wolf Moon will rise at 5:00 PM on what will hopefully be a clear Saturday afternoon in January. From [Killin's](https://www.oregonmetro.gov/parks/killin-wetlands-nature-park) parking lot, you can get a pretty tasty view with a scope or telephoto.

First, we'll walk very slowly about 1 mi. total out and back down paved NW Cedar Canyon Road to the west slough to photograph waterfowl, nutria, and maybe an elk or otter. Swans, geese, and winter species have settled in so it should be good birding. (You can come an hour early and explore the little 0.7 mi. trail loop through the park, itself, before we start.) Then we'll return to the parking lot, set up our tripods, snuggle into our chairs and blankets, and watch for the moon to make his grand entrance around 5:20 PM at 53° azimuth.

Bring **$5 cash**, water, headlamp/light source, binoculars/scope, camping chair with lots of blankets, [WEATHER](https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/or/banks/KORBANKS34) appropriate clothing, and all your photography gear. Restroom on site. Adults only, please, and no pets, please.
