Winter recording suggestions? + Olympus LS-100 Review

["ndbdxr" ndbdxr]

Hi Folks,

It's been quite a while since I posted. I hope everyone is doing well.
To be perfectly honest: I've been very disappointed & frustrated with the lack 
of wildlife sounds to record these past few months.
My usual subjects, bats - Have not come out of hibernation yet, here in the 
Northeastern US. 
I've been unable to get recordings of any early Spring Crickets, no "great" 
Songbirds, or a good Dawn chorus. And, I've just been very discouraged. In 
short: Does anyone have suggestions for nature recording in the suburbs? 

-And-

I'll be attempting my first full review of a device which is *not* a bat 
detector: The LS-100 from Olympus, should be arriving any day now.
It seems to be quite capable. I hope that I'll be able to add some useful 
information on it.

Best regards,
-Al
