Parabolic reflectors

Greetings folks,

Last summer some of you helped me realize my dream of recording
crickets and cicadas! I actually burned a CD which I have sent to many
friends and correspondents.
http://www.geocities.com/shadow42.geo/insect-summer.html.

Now I want to realize my dream of recording another creature that I
love: the wood thrush!

I've found that bird recording is much more difficult than recording
insects. I will need some kind of parabolic reflector to filter out
the traffic noise. But I don't want to spend hundreds of bucks. 

I found this listing under Edmond Scientific's web page.

3053875
3" focal length, 12" dia., 0.75" center hole dia.
$29.

Does anyone have an opinion about this size of reflector? I think it's
about my range for both size and price. I want something small I can
carry as I hike in the woods.
