All Phenology Talkbacks for April 24, 2018

Every Tuesday we hear from students and listeners as they send in weekly Phenologyobservations.  Spring is here.  These listener and student reports include irises poking thru the ground, tree swallows, snowshoe hares changing colors, flocks of snow buntings, turkey vultures, wood frogs and even some open water!  Our phenologists did some incredible reporting during this action packed week! 

If you are a teacher wanting to get involved in our Phenology program, send John Latimer an email and he'll get you set in the right direction. We love hearing from students and knowing they are passionate about the natural world we live in. 

Are you someone who pays attention to the natural world around you? Send along your observations and questions about what you are noticing outside.  We'd love to hear from you. Email or give us a jingle and leave a message at 218.999.9876.  Join our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Page on Facebook to connect with others in northern Minnesota! 

Phenology Talkbacks are made possible by the members of Northern Community Radio and a grant from the U of MN NE Regional Sustainable Development Partnership.

As a mail carrier in rural Grand Rapids, Minn., for 35 years, John Latimer put his own stamp on a career that delivered more than letters. Indeed, while driving the hundred-mile round-trip daily route, he passed the time by observing and recording seasonal changes in nature, learning everything he could about the area’s weather, plants and animals, and becoming the go-to guy who could answer customers’ questions about what they were seeing in the environment.
