I'm looking for suggestions on a mic I can permanently mount outside my
house to monitor bird sounds from indoors.
I currently have a device called a Bird Bug that I purchased several years
ago. It consists of a fairly inexpensive parabolic mic, 50 feet of coaxial
cable, and a amplifier speaker box. After having it outside for several
years, it has deteriorated and no longer works well. I cannot find the
company from which I purchased it; evidently they have gone out of business=
.
I'm not looking for extremely high quality equipment, as there is too much
noise around where I live for high quality recordings. I just want
something that works reasonably well.
I'm aware of two devices currently on the market, the Mother Nature's
Monitor and the Nature's Window. From what I've read, the first one sounds
a little too "low quality". I read one article about Nature's Window that
said it's excellent. Have any of you tried it?
Any thoughts?
Any suggestions?
