Hummingbirds Photo Gallery by Roger Ahlman at pbase.com

Hummingbirds

As of late june 2015, this gallery has images of 107 species from Ecuador.
March 2011; I am splitting up this gallery as it getting too big and slow to load. Hermits and allies have got a gallery of their own. April 2011; The smaller hummers like Thorntails, Woodstars and Coquettes have got a gallery of their own. I have finally organized the rest in taxonomic order.

Great and super collection. We recently got back from a Ecuador which included a trip to the cloud forest. This is a great resource to confirm the ids our guide gave us of the pic I took. Thank you for posting.

Superb collection, and extraordinarily generous of you to allow copies for individual use. Thank you! Burrdoo

Wonderful collection. Work of great patience and love for nature.

Olinda Rasmijn Thanks for you patience Roger, so we can appreciated the beauty of the creacion and you amateur for the hummingbirds. Congratulations.

Raquelle		17-Sep-2013 03:55
Incredible collection of work, thanks so much for all the time and work in posting it for us!

Guest		26-Jun-2012 19:48
Anyone know what a white chested with black specks hummingbird is? I am in Arizona and was so fasinated with his stomach that am no sure about outter color.....maybe green?

Guest		09-May-2012 02:35
Roger- Thanks once again for your tips. Do you shoot "raw"? Also, what do you think of the Eos 7D? I am considering it. I also do not like flash. Your colors are vibrant and the detail is remarkable. Gorgeous!! I have used your photos to help identify the hummers in my photos. Sue Wagoner

Roger Ahlman		03-May-2012 12:58
Hi Susan I usually shoot at ISO 800 but it obviously depends a bit on light conditions. Inside forest I may shoot up to 3200 and in the open down to 400. When shooting hummingbirds I never use flash as I think the coloures get altered, often the green looks coppery or golden which I don't like. Cheers Roger

Susan Wagoner		01-May-2012 17:45
Roger- Thanks for responding. Can I ask you also what ISO you usually shoot at? Are most of your (best)shots in the sun/good light? (duh!) Good shooting! Sue

Roger Ahlman		29-Apr-2012 05:42
Hi Susan Glad you like my pictures and Ecuador. I am shooting with much the same stuff as you, just that I have a Canon 7D body, but otherwise mostly handheld. Roger

Susan Wagoner		29-Apr-2012 01:40
Love your photos. I just returned from a birding trip in Ecuador and loved it. Can you tell me what you "shoot" with? I have a Canon EOS 50D and a hand-held 100-400 zoom lens. Nice but detail nowhere near yours. Again THANKS for sharing your wonderful shots. S. Wagoner

Beautiful hummingbird gallery! I like that you put the name of the bird with the pix. v

James Lowen		17-Apr-2009 17:35
Roger, these are awesome. Top stuff. I wish I lived in a country with more hummers than Arg! cheers, James

Michel Y		30-Dec-2008 14:41
Bonjour Roger, Congratulations for your work, but i am particulary appreciative from the identification of each species. Sorry for my english, i am french....from Réunion Island.Very very admiratif and thank you . Michel Y
