Sandhill Cranes fly through Crex Meadows, WI on Nov. 8, 2024.

As we move into winter, Pam Perry joined the KAXE Morning Show to talk about what she has been seeing lately.

Perry, our favorite retired non-game wildlife biologist, stops by each month to talk about Minnesota phenology with our staff phenologist, John Latimer. Perry is broadly knowledgeable about Minnesota's environment and particularly excited about birds, reptiles and amphibians.

Some highlights include sightings of kettling Sandhill Cranes, the behavior of Minnesota's abundant Trumpeter Swans, and how to remove bothersome buckthorn.
