A parabola can work for this but keep in mind that the distant sounds you r=
ecord will likely have a distant sound quality to them. I believe this is p=
rimarily due to the attenuation of the higher frequency sounds caused by th=
e distance. The porabola will compensate for this, to a degree, by amplifyi=
ng the higher frequency sounds more that the lower frequency. In fact the l=
ower frequency, if low enough won't be amplified by the parabola at all. So=
 it all depends on what you really want. You can get a clear recording of s=
omething 200 feet away but it will have a distant quality that one 50 feet =
will not have. If you are a wiz at sound editing you might be able to corre=
ct this.
