Listener Talkbacks

Spring is in the air and the phenologicalsignsare all around us! We heard from kids and grown ups all across the listening area this week!  From as far north as Baudette and as far south as Crosby-Ironton, our listeners are observing the subtle changes in nature and we are loving it!  Thanks to everyone who contributed to the talkback show this week.  Red wing black birds, tundra swans, fox, cougars, buffleheads, wolves and coyotes are just a few natural wonders our local phenologists took note of!  Take a listen to these reports to find out what's going on outside.  

If you notice something, give us a call and let us know about it at 218.999.9876.  You can send an email directly to John Latimer or send a message to ourKAXE comments email.  We'd love to hear from you! 

Love this stuff?  Join our Season Watch group on Facebook where you'll see all kinds  of pictures, videos and observations from others who love and take notice of their natural surroundings!

    

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.
