Phenology Student Reports: November 19, 2019

Say hello to my little friend

Tuesdays are special at Northern Community Radio and when school is in session, we are even more jazzed than normal because in addition to hearing from our listeners, young phenologists across Minnesota call in their classroom phenology reports.  Kids reported on chickadees eating out of their hands, feeding squirrels, sightings of bobcats, mink and fishers, and one kid even asked his mom to take out a six point buck with her car.  She wasn't interested.  Listen to to the links for the full experience!

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.
