I used the ME66/K6 for many years in Ecuador and it was just fine. The ME67
might be a little better if you want to eliminate background sound as it
is more directional. If you are after recordings that are "pretty darn good"
the ME66-67 is certainly adequate. If you want "really great' recordings
the MKH series will be better, but it all comes down to how close and "on
Mic" you are to the subject. If the bird is 20 feet away and you have a clear
shot, you'll get a great recording with either series.
For the serious stuff I still use the Telinga and MKH 20!
Good Luck!

Much lower electronic noise floor with the MKH-60, and hence more
potential
reach and depth. I'm quite familiar with both mics in a human voice
recording capacity, and MUCH prefer the sound of the MKH.
Never used either for nature recording, so others might have knowledge I
don't.
