Phenology Report

Phenology is the biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Every Tuesday morning, our resident Phenologist John Latimer gathers his phenological data and reports his findings in the weekly Phenology Report. This week he reflects on this date as far back as 1978.  Also in this report are discoveries from journals in 1984, 1985 and even the adventure of hiking thru thigh deep snow and exploring a bear den in 1995.  

Every week we hear from Minnesota school kids and regular listeners as they call or email us with their nature observations. Snowbuntings, skunk sightings, robins, moose and swelling buds on trembling aspens are just a few of this week's developments.  August from Shevlin shared the following poem which he found in his Waldorf school book:
