Phenology is the rhythmic biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Each week, resident phenologist John Latimer closely assesses the subtle changes happening outside and gives a full, official phenology report.  This week, John tells us to be on the look out for migrating geese, the vibrant burgandy of the downy arrowwood, magpies and much more.   Listen to find out how this year compares to John's 30+ years of data collection! 

 

Let us know what you are noticing outside by leaving a voicemail at 218-999-9876 or send us an email.  We would love to hear from you!

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.
