Every Tuesday we hear from students and listeners as they send in weekly Phenologyobservations.  This week's observations included orioles, a black bear inside someone's garage, a skunk stinking up a car and maple leaves progressing. 

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.
