Phenology is the biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  John Latimer has kept meticulous phenology notes for the past 30+ years.  Each Tuesday, he shares what he's noticed recently and cross references that information with the data he has collected over the years.  This week's report includes fox, a variety of animal tracks and an explanation of why one might have seen a skunk sneaking around last week.  In addition to the full, weekly, Tuesday report, you can year John's short phenology snippets each day during the morning show and again during All Things Considered in the early evening.    

What have you observed?  Share on our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Facebook page,  leave us a voice message at 218-999-9876 or send an email to comments@kaxe.org.  We'd love to find out what you're noticing!
