Tuesdays are special at KAXE/KBXE. It’s the day we celebrate Phenology - the rhythmic biological nature of events as they relate to climate. Every week our resident phenologist John Latimer gathers messages from listeners in regard to what they are noticing outside. During the school year things get wildly more exciting when we hear from students all around the listening area as they send in their observations and questions!
This week we heard nature reports from all over the state!
Baudette kids report muskrat huts, shaggy mushrooms, and aspens and maple trees dropping leaves like crazy!
The Coleraine Green Team report ducks and an oak tree with 120 inch circumference!
Cohasset kids are surprised by the number of lady bugs and dandelions blooming in October!
Students in Hill City report turkey vultures and moles!
St. Michael Middle School provided two reports from the Long Lake Conservation Center.
Pike Lake Elementary kids noted skunks spraying dogs and a garter snake!
Northfield kids had one last monarch sighting as well as flocks of geese and vultures!
