Phenology Report: May 29, 2018

Katie Carter
Lake Bemidji Sunrise

We care deeply about the natural world around us here at KAXE-KBXE.  Each week our resident phenologist John Latimer provides a complete Phenology Report giving listeners a comprehensive look at what's  happening in nature here in northern Minnesota. And, a lot is happening out in nature in northern Minnesota right now! We went from walking on the lakes to swimming in them over the course of the last month.  Bushes are budding, pines are shooting their candles, lilies are blooming, ferns are popping, butterflies are flying about and much, much more. 

What are you noticing?  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!

Listen to KAXE/KBXE Northern Community Radio every Tuesday morning for the full phenology show.

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.
