I've always been interested in building some kind of outdoor sensitive microphone pickup. I recall decades ago projects for 'shotgun mics' as well as parabolic mics in popular electronics mag. I'm pretty sure I can handle the electronics part, preamp, low noise op-amp possibly with some active filtering and I've even seen some nice audio AGC chips on E-bay that might work well.
What I'm looking for is ideas on the best mic elements and mounting methods. Would like something that would pick-up birds and other wildlife in my back yard up to say 100 feet or so.
So anyone have success with sensitive outdoor microphone design?
