Back off until I finish!

 

We care deeply about the natural world around us here at KAXE-KBXE.  Each week, our resident phenologist John Latimer's Phenology Report provides a comprehensive look at what's  happening in nature here in northern Minnesota.  

Spring is just around the corner in northern Minnesota and in this Phenology Report, John talks about the signs of spring like drumming woodpeckers, trumpeter swans and the upcoming arrival of robins.   Consistently warmer weather is on its way!   Click the link for the full report.  

What are you noticing?  Send us a note via email or leave a voicemail at 218.999.9876.  We'd love to hear about it.   

If you love this stuff, you'll dig our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Page on Facebook.  Check it out!

Listen to our morning show every Tuesday morning for the full phenology experience that is the Tuesday Morning Show on KAXE-KBXE Northern Community Radio. 

Phenology is made possible by the members of Northern Community Radio and a grant from the U of MN NE Regional Sustainable Development Partnership.  

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.
