News From Nature at Long Lake
Phenology is the observation of natural phenoma as relates to the changing seasons. At Long Lake, we've been keeping a running list of observations by staff and visitors for many years now. Records since 1998 are available here.
Use the archive menu at left to compare this year's seasonal changes with those of past years. Questions you might ask:
  • When is the first frost? 
  • When do lakes freeze up?
  • When do chickadees begin singing? 
  • When do monarchs return?
  • How much to these dates vary?

We hope you find our archive useful. . . or at least interesting!
