Phenology

Tuesdays are special at Northern Community Radio and when school is in session, we are even more jazzed than normal because young phenologists across Minnesota call in their classroom phenology reports.  

This week we heard from kids in Ely, Cherry, Shevlin, Blackberry,  Two Harbors, Hill City and Northfield!  Wow!  Snakes, moose, leaves falling, bluebirds, bald eagles and even a guy tuning up his snowblower are all included in these phenololgy reports!  Awesome data collection by kiddos this week! 

Phenology is the biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Every week John Latimer takes a close look at the blooms and changes happening while considering how the timing measures up to past years in his Phenology Report.  In this week's report, John discusses the timing of leaves changing color, the flowers that are still in bloom and much more.
