Every Tuesday we hear from students and listeners across Minnesota as they send in their weekly Phenologyobservations.  Even though it's been cold, our student reports are full of action!  Observations include an owl killing a chicken, a mouse invasion, beetles crawling around cars and lots of bird sightings! 

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. 

What are you noticing outside? 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.
