Molly Hoffman became a birder following a 1970 course in Ornithology at the University of Minnesota, Duluth which was part of a degree in Biology. Molly Hoffman’s Field Notes brings listeners along on guided birding adventures in the woods. Recorded in the fields and woodlands of Northeastern Minnesota along with her husband Ken and dogs Rocky and Jessie, Molly’s bird identification lessons and song identification will make a birder out of anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Field Notes airs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning on WTIP (from April through October). Or listen to archived editions of this feature anytime by clicking on the links below.Field Notes airs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning on WTIP (from April through October).
