Hello, I have just found your web site, and signed on. I am a retired engineer, living in Hawaii. I enjoy watching, listening to and identifying birds. I would like to record the song of the White- Rumped Shama (Copsychus malabaricus), which according to the Hawaiian Audubon Society's booklet, lives here. They say: "This thrush is considered by many to be the best song bird in the Islands." It was introduced into Hawaii in 1931 from Malaysia. I propose to play his song back to him minutes or maybe days later to try to attract him to a place where I can see him.
I would like suggestions for "starter" equipment I might use for the task. Is there a tape cassette recorder available that has the required high frequency response, a microphone input jack and an audio output jack? What would be a good directional microphone, an audio amplifier, etc. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
