Phenology Talkbacks: Valentine's Day Edition!

Phenology Talkbacks happen every Tuesday at Northern Community Radio.  It's the time in our week when we compile and share the comments, questions and observations about nature that listeners send our way.   This week we heard from several astute youngsters around the listening area.  We're impressed with these kids' observation skills!  What have you noticed out in nature these days?  We would love to hear about it!  Email your comments to the station or directly to John Latimer, give us a call and leave a message at 218.999.9876 or send a handwritten note to 260 NE 2nd Street, Grand Rapids, MN 55744.   

Interested in getting your classroom involved?  Connect with John Latimer!

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.
