Newbie request for advice on getting started

Greetings!

I just joined this group. I'm a nature lover, I would like to record
some of the night insect sounds that I hear on my walks. I know
nothing about recording, but I did recently acquire Cool Edit Pro. I
am working on a soundscape using clips of the 17-year Cicadas. as far
as recording equipment, my son advises me to go with a Minidisc
recorder, but it has to have stereo mike capacity. I was unable to
find this at my local electronic stores. The guy at Radio Shack
suggests an old-fashioned cassette deck.

Can anyone give me some suggestions? I don't have a huge budget, I
don't want to spend thousands of $$. Can anyone give me some specific
brand names? There is a good minidisc recorder available on the net
for $100. But I would also need a good mic. Help!

Thanks!
Laura
