Phenology Report: October 24, 2017

KAXE | By John Latimer

Published October 24, 2017 at 2:53 PM CDT

Tuesdays are dedicated to the natural world around us here at KAXE/KBXE. The Phenology Report provides a comprehensive look at what's what's changing color, flying, blooming, ripening and happening in nature here in northern Minnesota.

What have you noticed? Send us a note via email or leave a voicemail at 218.999.9876. We'd love to hear about it.

If you love this stuff, you'll dig our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Page on Facebook. Check it out!

Phenology is made possible by the members of Northern Community Radio and a grant from the U of MN NE Regional Sustainable Development Partnership.

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.
