Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good bird sound monitor. I have used a Wing Song for 17 years but it is now picking up some sort of interference that I cannot identify and remedy. I really miss hearing the birds, elk, coyotes, etc (we live in the middle of nowhere) when the windows are closed. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am probably not unique in not having come across this device.
Googling it comes up with a number of people looking for one, but no description, picture or functional description.
It sounds like it might be a remote waterproof microphone on a feeder or just outdoors that connects to an amplifier speaker indoors by a length of wire (something like a baby monitor) but it would be good to be sure.
Could you fill us in a bit more with info on how far the wire microphone has to reach etc., as one of the folks who reads this may know of an alternative or have constructed something themselves.
I take it that it has no connection other than name to the Wing Song feeder system?
Someone is bound to be doing something similar somewhere.
I add my welcome to every one else.
