Hi all,
Got out early Sunday in spite of D/S time to try out my new parabolic dish mic
on the over-wintering Varied Thrushes that are here in Berkeley, California in
unusual numbers this year. I had some luck in recording their songs which I
have never heard before. In previous years they seemed to always leave for
their Northwest breeding grounds before they were in a singing mood. I hope to
get some better recordings,perhaps in stereo as the dish does not do them
justice but is a helpful study tool.Check it out here:

I used one of Saul Mineroff's clear acrylic dishes that was recommended to the
group a while back. I adapted a Rhode pistol grip and rubber mic mount that I
had for a shotgun mic . I use a Sennhieser ME 62 mic. So far I am satisfied
with it, especially the light weight.
