Phenology is the biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Every week, our resident Phenologist John Latimer gathers his phenological data and reports his findings in the Tuesday morning Phenology Report.  As always, we love to hear what our listeners are noticing out in nature.  Give us a call at 218.999.9876 and let us know what is happening around your place.  You can also send an email directly to John.  Either way, we want to hear from you!

Every week we hear from regular listeners and school kids from across the listening area as they report what they've noticed outside during the past week.  This week, we heard from Prairie Creek School in Northfield, Augie in Shevlin, Ian in Minneapolis and a handful of grown-up listeners.  Tundra swans, owls seemingly hunting in a group, nearly a whole week of grey skies, a snake and temps in the single digits are all included in this week's reports! 

On this segment of Paddle Minnesota Jim Gallagher talks with author Rob Kesselring.  Rob's latest book is a biography of his friend and bush pilot Merlyn Carter.
