Can anyone suggest software (MAC OS X) for safe wind noise removal / reduct=
ion?

I'm a birdwatcher using recording to assist identification.  I've begun usi=
ng sonagram
analysis to further assist identification, but wind noise gets in the way o=
f this analysis.  I have
tried Sound Studio and Audacity but have not found the secret to filtering =
without destroying
=96 distorting the sound.

Of course the obvious solution would be to eliminate the wind noise.  I am =
using a field
recording vest with binaural mics on the shoulders enclosed in 1.5" diamete=
r cages covered
with fake fur.  Noise protection is good from wind to about 10mph and is qu=
ite impossible
with the 20+mph winds I frequently encounter.  Such is the life of a birdwa=
tcher.

Any tricks, suggestions, clues would be appreciated.
