Phenology Talkbacks 9/22/20: Student Reports!

Katie Carter
Lake Bemidji Sunrise 9/17/20

Phenology is the rhythmic biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Phenology Talkback is your opportunity to communicate with us.  Maybe you have an observation to share or a comment to make or maybe you want to ask a question!  Leave us a message at 218-999-9876 or send an email and share your thoughts! Our resident phenologist John Latimer gathers the messages from listeners each week and shares them during the Phenology Show on Tuesdays. 

We are thrilled to have recieved reports from several classrooms this week!  In these reports, we hear from the Newstoks kids as well as students from Cherry, Hill City and Northfield! If you would like to get your classroom involved in the Phenology Curriculum, connect with John.  He'll get you set up! 

 

In our first report of the year from Cherry School , we hear about bears, frost, and flocks of geese.

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.
