Ted probably knows a better way, but here's a simple way I have used to make half-way decent recordings of bird song.
I downloaded the app called Song Sleuth onto my smartphone. It was designed for you to record a song and it would ID the bird from your recording. I have found its ID skills wanting, but it makes decent recording files. When I hear a bird I want to record, I go into the app and go through the motions of recording the sound as if for ID purposes. I reject the ID offering of it usually, but I then use the 'share' option to e-mail the recording file to my personal e-mail address. Back at home, I download the file from my e-mail and upload it into eBird.
