Sue Keeler via KAXE/KBXE Season Watch FB Page

Tuesdays are special at Northern Community Radio because we focus on climate and nature.  When school is in session, we are even more jazzed than normal because  young phenologists across Minnesota when call in their classroom phenology reports.This week we heard from kids in Ely, Shevlin, Kelliher and Two Harbors! You can send along a note to report what you've observed outside by emailing us!  Also, don't forget to check out the KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Facebook page!

In the Ely report we learn about snow levels, deer visits and a pine marten:

August's Shevlin township report includes chickadees, a barred owl and rime ice:

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.
