ISO: Affordable mic amp for backyard bird listening project

One thing I don't like about winter is the fact that I can't keep my
windows open so I can listen to the birds at our feeders. So I rigged up
an old Sony parabolic dish with one of the AT-ES947 boundary mics I have
(pic <http://www.flyingmonkeystudio.com/misc/dish.jpg>  )and ran it into
an extra Rolls MX34 mixer and then out to a Roland MiniCube amp (pic
<http://www.flyingmonkeystudio.com/misc/amp.jpg> ) which is sitting on
our dining room sideboard. It almost makes it feel like spring!

A couple of friends commented that they'd like me to build them a
similar rig. I have a couple extra ES947's that I can rig into a
psuedo-parabolic dish (anti-squirrel dish).  So- I'm in search of an
affordable, small mic or PA amp that I could run into a speaker...
Anybody run into anything like this?

TIA
