Every Tuesday we gather the Phenology notes, comments and questions sent our way from listeners and we share them the world.   Meadowhawks, thimbleberries, water hemlock, and purplish coppers are just a few of the reported sightings this week! What have you noticed?Send us a note or leave a voicemail at 218.999.9876. We'd love to hear about it!

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.
