Writings

Jim Gilbert has contributed to All Seasons' member newsletter "Bird's Eye View" for nearly a decade.  A favorite of our readers, his information tracks the arrival and departure of birds, blooming dates of plants, and other interesting notes of local flora and fauna. Use these notes to help you plan ahead for nestbox cleaning, when to prepare your hummingbird feeders, etc.

The Executive Director of the Linnaeus Arboretum and Naturalist at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, Jim is also the author of Jim Gilbert's Nature Notebook, and Through Minnesota's Seasons with Jim Gilbert. Jim and his network of observers across Minnesota and western Wisconsin keep track of Phenology events. Jim has been associated with the Freshwater Society and has provided the phenology information for the Minnesota Weatherguide Environment Calendar since 1977

(remember that his postings are always a year behind the current season) 

Note that most phenologies are provided in a PDF format. Don't have Acrobat Reader?  Download it for free here.
