A trip outdoors, whether it be a walk to the grocery store or a hike up a mountain, brings up questions for keen observers. Where do magpies nest? Why doesn’t a spider stick to its own web? How do water striders keep from sinking? These questions and more are answered weekly on Field Notes.
Field Notes are natural history essays produced by the Montana Natural History Center (MNHC) that air on Montana Public Radio (KUFM, 89.1 FM), three times per week: Sunday afternoons at 12:25 p.m., Mondays at 3:00 p.m. and Tuesdays at 10:25 p.m. The pieces highlight observations of the natural world, ranging from concealment postures of owls to the short, hungry life of a water shrew. The program has been on air since 1992.
