Every Tuesday morning on Northern Community Radio we focus on the natural world during the Phenology Show.   Resident phenologist John Latimer guides us through the subtle changes in  nature we are experiencing in the KAXE/KBXE listening area. During the talkback  portion of the show,  we share the comments, questions and observations sent in by listeners. What have you noticed outside?  We'd love to hear about it.  Send an email, leave a message on out talkback phone line 218-999-9876 or join the KAXE-KBXE Season Watch page on Facebookand connect that way.  Your nature notes help tell the story of our climate! 

We are in the midst of our Summer of Love pledge drive.  Your contributions are how we can bring you the Phenology Show. If you love this programming, become a KAXE/KBXE Northern Community Radio member now! 

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.
