Jon,
You might also try Bernie Krause's new book "Wild Soundscapes:
Discovering the Voice of the Natural World" (Wilderness Press, 2002).
Among some pretty concise discussion about ways and places to record,
it covers many important issues regarding equipment and its
applicatons in the field and comes with a CD full of examples.
