Well, obviously you don't know me. I am the King of Cob. If I can get a set up for a reasonable price, I will figure something out. LOL

  There definitely are iphone / ipod apps that enable recording with a plug-in mic. But I don't know of a portable parabolic that can be worn for hands-free operation. May very well exist -- just not something I'm familiar with.

  > There's a link about half way down the page on the left that connects to info on "equipment". It doesn't appear that they speak to anything as "portable" as you are suggesting. Perhaps a note to Dr. Webster who is the Directory of the Macaulay Library would provide a short cut to learning whether such a device exists.

What I am considering is one you could wear on your head like a forehead spot light. It would also have to have a small recording device that was capable of downloading into the computer. Does such a thing exist for a reasonable price? If someone knows, can they provide links? Tape recording is too out of date I guess and the extra stuff needed to transfer it to digital. I just want something immediate for when that rare warbler is singing up a storm but buried in the foliage out of camera shot. Kevin (not Marie)
