    Each week we hear from listeners around the region as they connect with us to share their observations, questions and comments about what they are noticing out in the natural world.  It was an interesting week!  We learned about a young girl who tried to capture a mouse in her bedroom only to discover it was a vole, a  rare siting of a curved billed thrasher which is a bird normally residing in the southwest United States,  chipmunks filling their cheeks, and a whole bunch of other things going on outside!  Check out the audio files to learn more.  

If you have observations, questions or comments about what you are seeing, give us a jingle or an email.  We'd love to hear from you!  Email comments@kaxe.org or call 219.999.9876 to share your thoughts.  You can also keep up with others are noticing by joining our Facebook group, KAXE-KBXE Season Watch.

If you know of a classroom that would like to get involved in our phenology reports, email John at jlatimer@kaxe.org.  We love hearing from the kids and getting them engaged in their natural world!    

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.
