I'm looking for a free version of the Solunar Tables

Noddy- What part of the world are you inhabiting? I found one from Jacksonville, Florida.

Thanks, Phoenix. I'm hoping for the Poconos where the nights are longer and the days are shorter. Still, Jacksonville is better than nothing.

Here's one for Teyas

for North Carolina

and at this website

you can even "play around" with your own, personal location (sun only).

Thanks, Walter. I'm well north of Texas and a good piece north of North Carolina, but I think I can jiggle with the third site and come up with some local data.

As the wheel turns, all things wash ashore and patience is rewarded.

You can request Solunar information by zip code--glorious for bird watchers everywhere.

That's the same one I found. Field & Stream also publishes them monthly which is where I first encountered them. What's amazing is how well they work. You can almost predict a fish bite to within a few minutes unless the weather is playing tricks.

Most of us hunter/fisherman types are also birdwatchers, and quite successful ones. When was the last time you had a bald eagle soar overhead, swoop down, and land in a tree right next to you? Happened to me last year - twice.

My only experience with a bald eagle was 20 years ago in suburbia. The eagle was very young and had ventured away from a riverside nest.

Geesh, I hoped you watched out for the parents!!! Talons the size of a man's hand and deadly quiet until they hit you in the back of the head!

Majestic, gorgeous birds, but you have to be careful in their territory. Like any bird, they buzz bomb intruders but these birds are HUGE. One about scalped my mom once while she was hunting mushrooms.

To try and give some size perspective, here's a baldy snatching a seagull off a pier joist. Seagulls are the size of a large chicken.
