That kind of device works pretty well for loud, relatively low-frequency sounds. For example, I got a pretty good Whip-poor-will recording using one. They don't do well with high-pitched or distant songs.

Subject: [mou-net] Recording birds inexpensively

I was wondering if anyone might recommend a cheap hand held recorder one might use to record a bird song or call on one of those occasions when you hear something new or different. I noticed Sony makes a small hand-held voice recorder for around $50.00-65.00. Anyone tried something like that? It wouldn't have to be really great quality.
