Phenology Report: 1/26/21

Sunrise

Phenology is the rhythmic biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Each week, our resident phenologist John Latimer closely assesses the subtle changes happening outside and gives a full, official phenology report.  This week, John reflects on his nature notes from decades past! He considers average coldest day of the, average date of robins returning, and he notes a change in the song of the chickadee! Listen to this week's report right here:

Don't hesitate to send along your observations. We'd love to hear what you are noticing in your neck of the woods!  If you love Phenology, check out our KAXE-KBXE Season Watchpage on Facebook.

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.
