Every week we hear from Minnesota school kids as they share what they've been observing outside. Things are hopping out in nature these days, and we don't just mean the frogs. Loons, killdeer, robins, trumpeter swans, snake shed, goldeneye and yellowbellied sapsuckers are just a few of what students and listeners reported seeing. Click the links to hear the full reports!
What are you noticing outside? We would love to hear from you whether you are in a classroom or your living room! Don't hesitate to email or give us a jingle and leave a message at 218.999.9876.
