dynamic mic

["oryoki2000" <>]

I'm working on a project that will place a recorder, unattended,
outside for several weeks at a time.  We're trying to control battery
power requirements, and the topic of using a dynamic mic has come up.

My admittedly limited understanding is that dynamics are not the first
choice for nature recording because of they are not as sensitive as
condenser mics, and have a higher noise floor.  However, dynamics are
durable, highly resistant to humidity, and less expensive.  And they
don't require battery power.

Can anyone recommend a dynamic mic for nature recording? Or are the
benefits of condenser mics worth the extra kilograms of battery weight?
