Phenology is the rhythmic biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  This week we've prepared a full report including a leafing and flowering trees and plant update - pincherries, red oak, choke cherries, false lily of the valley and black ash are just a few of the varieties delved into in this report.  

What have you noticed outside?  Send an email or leave a voicemail at 218.999.9876 to add to our phenology findings!  We'd love to hear from you! You can also join our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Page on Facebook to keep up with the photos, videos and conversations there that are all dedicated to the natural world. 

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.
