Hey fellas. I'm interested in recording nature :) Thunder, Rain, Birds, the beach, etc. Is there anything that is portable, cheap, and of good quality? I'd like to spend at most $100 but would be willing to pay $150. I have no idea how much things like this cost or even where to begin to look. Your help and suggestions are much appreciated.

You'd be looking for portbable flash recorders, korg, m-audio sony, edirol and a couple of others have them out. It'll cost a bit more than 150 though.

I don't have any first hand experience so I'd also be curious to hear from anyone who's used one of these things...

Shotgun Mics would yield good results i would think, plus as kit said those hand portable things look alright.
kitphillips
Yeah, I think you'd want a shotgun mic to go along with the portable recorder... But I have no idea which gear's best in this stuff, I've never used it.

But I'm constantly hearing sounds I'd like to stick in tracks, so I think I should grab one and just mess around...

If your just after the sounds then www.freesound.org should do it, I've found thunder/birds of all different sound types/qualities.
