Hi Ryan,
You will probably want to add wind protection. Even a very slight breeze
blowing against an unprotected capsule will likely create distortion. It can be
hard to find times with no wind at all, even deep in a forest. "Really windy"
usually means something different to the nature recordist than to the average
person.
There are a variety of materials and methods people use to make wind screens.
Lightweight polar fleece (but not the wind block type) has worked pretty well
for me.
