Larry gives his phenological year-end summary. Temperatures for the past year have been warmer than normal for every month but one. Icy snow over the last week caused difficulties for human travelers, but also for many animals living in the snow, such as the ruffed grouse and the deer.
Phenology with local naturalist Larry Weber every Friday morning at 8:20 on Northland Morning.
