There's commercially available hardware and software that does this (from
Wildlife Accoustics, Inc.):
Night Flight Call Package for Monitoring Migratory Birds: http://bit.ly/9IhhDS

Interesting question. I have a friend in New York (actually a couple friends)
who I know are doing their own recording of flight calls. Both diurnal and
nocturnal. I also have a couple other friends who are traveling around the
world recording every bird song they can.
The drawback with recording is that the equipment required for this is
ridiculously expensive (you think you're camera's expensive? It's nothing
compared to audio recording equipment). The other thing is that it would take a
substantial amount of work considering that the only reliable way to compare is
to process your recording, edit out the background noise and create a sonogram
of the sound and compare it with a sonogram from the CD.
Might be a good project for someone who is working on their degree and can get
a grant to purchase quality recording equipment.
