Each week, our resident phenologistJohnLatimer gives a full phenology report.  In this week's report, John discusses great horned owl and eagle nesting habits, gives an education on ticks, shares his longing to see a snowy owl, his love of walking frozen bogs and when we'll start to see wildlife including red tail hawks, killdear and blue herons. 

Have questions or comments about what you are noticing outside?  John loves hearing from our listeners. Send him an email or leave a message for him at 218-999-9876.  Love following along with our phenology programming?  You'll love our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch page on Facebook.  Check it out! 

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.
