All of today's phenology talkbacks combined

Every Tuesday we hear from students and listeners as they send in weekly Phenologyobservations.  In this  Phenology Talkbacks segment, we hear student reports from Ely, Virginia, Duluth, Iron, Bemidji,   the Brainerd Friends of Nature Club, and the Crow Wing Homeschooler.  Ravens and crows, some oak branches budding, bald eagles eating deer carcasses and boreal owls are just a few of the details in this week's reports!

If you are a teacher wanting to get involved in our Phenology program, send John Latimer an email and he'll get you set in the right direction. We love hearing from students and knowing they are passionate about the natural world we live in. 

Are you someone who pays attention to the natural world around you? Send along your observations and questions about what you are noticing outside.  We'd love to hear from you. Email or give us a jingle and leave a message at 218.999.9876.  Join our KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Page on Facebook to connect with others in northern Minnesota! 

Phenology Talkbacks are 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.
