Every Tuesday we hear from students and listeners as they send in weekly Phenologyobservations. In this wide ranging Phenology Talkbacks segment, we hear from students in Ely, Virginia, Two Harbors, Bemidji, Grand Rapids and Shevlin. The kids report so many signs of spring in their reports this week! Skunks, bald eagles, flowering trembling aspen, lots of slush, cedar waxwings and even a record setting early observation of a Compton tortoiseshell butterfly are just a few highlights from these reports! Great work, kids!
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.
