Title: Recommendations for recording (audio) equipment
Post by: Leslie on May 08, 2012, 06:16:37 PM
I've been asked to record the birds in my backyard this year (long story).
This is difficult since a pair of Coopers have chosen the block as a nesting site, and one is perched looking for food morning, evening, when the weather is bad, or on a weekend when the weather is good.
So I'm not seeing much.  (On Sunday I briefly saw a house sparrow.  Today I saw my first robin.  I saw a mourning dove but so did one of the Coopers.)
So I'm trying to bird by ear.
Can anyone recommend some recording equipment for the non-technically inclined, so I can, say go back & compare that house finch/purple finch/rose-breasted grosbeak complex?
Thanks.
