Hey! I've gone down the rabbit hole with unorthodox methods of birdwatching like using a parabolic microphone (very directional, so you can locate with a mono audio source) and a couple other weird things like that! Would love to chat if I can provide any info to get you into the hobby 😁

    The parabolic microphone idea sounds interesting! I use the Merlin bird ID app to identify what I can hear, but it's not directional, obviously. I do have a pretty decent digital camera with 40x optical zoom, but you really need to know where to point it, because the slightest change in angle is a big change at a distance.
