>>675552Rent a Zoom H4n and a Sennheiser MKH416 with a windcover and boom. Try and get a stereo MIC from them with a MIC stand if you want to record broader sounds and Stereo Images.
After your first outing have a listen back and kind of judge what you did right and wrong and start building on your experience. Sound is also very dependent on environment and how much exterior unnatural or specific noise hits your recording location.
If you feeling hardcore and have good DIY skills I would recommend building a parabolic mic for long range applications. There is some tutorials online but I can explain in steps if you can't find it.
If you want to listen what some other sound recordists are doing I would recommend this community:
http://freesound.org/There is allot of nature recordings on there and I can personally lose myself in searches there for hours on end.
Hope this gives you some insight I know /out/ is kind of slow but I will check in for questions.
