Hi Rory,

First off- thanks to all who responded. Living proof that, powerful as
it is, Google isn't the answer to everything.

Well, my needs are pretty simple. Curiously enough, winter is the
songiest (is that a word?) of the seasons here in the Delta, lots of
migrants from up north; but it's also the rainy season, hence the need
to avoid nice studio gear.

I think what I am going to go with is a boom to take care of the
microphone attaching needs; but then use a camera tripod as has been
suggested to take care of the uneven ground requirements. The highest
I need to get is over the tops of reeds, maybe six or seven feet, so
the combination of 5 feet of tripod and 3 feet of boom should do just
fine.

Thank you all for the very helpful advice,

Mark
