Beautiful gallery! I was happy to see you use Nikon. Can you tell me what lens you used to shoot these hummers? Thanks and congratulations on your wonderful work. I am so glad I found your site. Ann

Seriously, all these hummingbirds... I think you catch them and release them in your yard... (which You've caged in so they can't leave... )... LOL.. Just kidding. Great Gallery!

Stunning gallery!. Thanks for sharing! Voted.

Guest		10-Jan-2007 03:31
Great collection of pictures!

Hi Marilu, Your gallery of hummingbirds is absolutely breathtaking. Each one a gem. We don't see as many here in New England. Thanks so much for sharing your talents and I look forward to seeing more!

Beautiful shots.

Axel Hildebrandt		27-Jan-2006 20:05
This is a wonderful gallery, Marilu. I'm surprised the hummingbirds get along so well. The ruby-throated here are extremely territorial.

William G. Mancebo		30-Nov-2005 04:25
You have some excellent, well detailed Hummingbird photos. Keep up the good work. Combat-between-two is outstanding!

Lonnie		13-Jul-2005 11:29
Breath taking photos your a Pro- very well done! When I see such beuty in nature I see the hand of our creator and the time and detail that He took even for the smallest things in life as the litle humming birds He put the colors of the rainbow upon them" and as little as the lady bug He took time to put the spots upone there backs" seeing the hand of our creator at work all around us if we just take time to open out eye's and look around us.

Do you travel?? I have a suggestion. You should take a trip to Sierra Vista Arizona, just a short distance form there is Carr Mountain, home to many varied and some very rare hummingbirds. I would love to see what you can do there!!

Hi Marilu, I love your hummingbird photos and jealous you have so many birds at your home. If you could send a few to my home near West Yellowstone, that would be nice. I am especially interested in your Allen's hummingbirds. I don't mean to be bold, but I was wondering if you ever let someone come over to photograph the hummers. I do a lot of hummingbird photography with a five flash setup and actually teach hummingbird photo workshops in British Columbia of all places. I found a place near Cranbrook, BC where hundreds of rufous, calliope, and black-chinned hummers swarm the feeders. I know you have no idea who I am, but you can check me out at my web site at www.gerlachnaturephoto.com In the meantime, keep enjoying those hummers-my favorite group of birds. Best, John Gerlach

This is an amazing gallery. More stunning hummingbird pictures than I've ever seen before. Beautiful work!

Bob Nelson		12-Jan-2005 01:36
Your work is an inspiration, Marilu . . . obviously a labor of love! Thanks on behalf of hummer lovers everywhere!

Guest		09-Jan-2005 19:17
Absolutely fabulous work!

You 've got my vote. Chapeau!

all beautifull

Peggy Bjarno		19-Nov-2004 02:19
I've never seen anything like this! Your photography is awesome, the "captures" beyond belief . . . You need to teach people (ME!!) how to do things like this. I am in awe . . .

These pics are 11's on a scale of ten!! I've been trying to get these types of shots and haven't come close at all getting these pics. (I'm a newbie using a Minolta A1 and a good flash). I have a small book on humming birds and your shots are second to none. I used to think they must be using stuffed birds to get the shots. I then have got to the point of being able to freeze the wings of the birds in my pics but they are extremely grainy even with a strong flash and post processing. The clarity is stunning. If your selling pics I'd love to by a couple, my wife and I have a lot of hummingbird stuff around our house. I love to watch the feeder. If your not selling pics, I'd love a couple copies of your shots.

Marilu Bishop		16-Aug-2004 23:27
Thanks, Chuck. Feed them and they will come!

Chuck Hall		16-Aug-2004 17:43
Great gallery Marilu. I have been trying to get a good shot of my lonely little hummer for a week now. :( You must have a magic mixture for your feeders. All I get is lots of sparrows. LOL

Guest		10-Aug-2004 23:12
These hummer shots are absolutely beautiful? How do you it? Are most taken at feeders? You obviously have more access to hummers than I do. Just three or four visit our yard. They seem territorial. I'm amazed how people get hordes of them to visit their yards. What is a D70? D100 is an SLR, right? What lens do you use?

Tony Dalton		10-Aug-2004 11:10
Marilu, well I can truly say I have never placed a vote for a gallery before. I will be placing a vote for yours. These photos are truly amazing; not just this gallery of hummingbirds but all the galleries. Anybody who has spent time trying to photograph hummingbirds, fireworks and macro know how challenging this can be. Stunning photos; keep up the great work !!

Don Northup		08-Aug-2004 15:25
Cool hummer gallery. Thanks for sharing all of these captures. cheers

Don Spencer		29-Jul-2004 17:17
absolutely spectacular pictures, thanks for posting!!

Guest		28-Jul-2004 01:25
What city, state were these taken in? Thanks. Very nice.

Guest		26-Jul-2004 21:29
I agree with Elizabeth Sexton....This has to be the best gallery of hummers I have seen. Would love to hear more about the tech info and how you set up to take the shots.

Guest		21-Jul-2004 20:18
lovely pics!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth Sexton		25-Jan-2004 22:20
Marilu, This is the best gallery of hummingbirds I have seen anywhere. This kind of photos requires patience. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Alison		29-Aug-2003 16:08
These Hummer photos are beautiful, I live in the UK (no hummers) and am very envious of your 'flying jewels'! Thank you for sharing them.

Diane Ramsey		27-Jul-2003 13:38
Just have to compliment you on this particular gallery, Marilou. Very difficult to photograph and you are obviously in an area of the country where there are many of them. Aggressive little critters amongst each other! Just beautiful and enjoyed looking at them all. DianeR

Becca		17-Jul-2002 16:15
Great pictures from a bird watcher.

Guest		03-Jul-2002 23:29
We enjoyed the pictures on your page. Greetings from North Alabama.

gabriel chavez		17-May-2002 03:06
simplemente maravilloso gracias por compartir estas grandes imagenes.

Sue Shirk		10-Apr-2002 20:23
I just can't believe the number of Humming Birds you have at one time. I would like to know what part of the country you live in. I usually have two fighting over my feeders and I love to see that. I came in to see how your lenses work. I'm not sure which one I want, the ClearVue or the EagleEye. These pictures are beautiful. What speed do you set your camera at when shooting these. I have the CP995, and I'm just learning. I can see that you are the one to ask. LOL Sorry for all the questions, but your gallery is so wonderful that I'm just full of questions.

Margie		03-Mar-2002 04:40
Absolutely wonderful shots!! I've been in awe looking at your pics of these wondrous creatures.

Guest		23-Jan-2002 03:01
Outstanding humingbird shots

Guest		11-Dec-2001 17:31
All I can say is WOW !!! Great shots I get to see one maybe once a year.

Lee Nelson		16-Nov-2001 02:50
Your patience and love of these beauties sure comes through Marilu. I have never seen anything like it. So many birds and feeders. Must keep you hoping just keeping them filled!! We have only the one, and he is absolute King of the realm. Only in late evening does he let the ladies in for a sip, so seeing your multitude with so much action going on is a real treat. I look forward to returning and viewing again and again. Thanks very much for the show. All the best, Lee

Marilu Bishop		02-Oct-2001 14:59
We certainly have an abundance, Charles! Makes for a constant opportunity to try for that one great shot!! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Marilu

Guest		10-Sep-2001 23:44
Great hummingbird shots. I can't believe how many you get swarming your feeder. They're like mosquitos!!
