Every week we hear from Minnesota school kids and regular listeners as they call or email us with nature observations. Spring has sprung in northern Minnesota and boy are we stoked about that! This week's phenological observations include trumpeter swans, ring-billed gulls, owls, eagles, bones, skulls, dead skunks, robins, tulips, and wolves crossing roads. Click on the phenology reports to hear all about the wide array of plant and animal activity happening outside!
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.
