Comments:  I've been watching a few Anna's fighting over the pair of feeders I keep in my home office window while I write during the day. I noticed a few different looking birds, and went hunting for good pictures of Costa's...and found your site. Your pictures are BEAUTIFUL. I wish I could take such great shots of my little friends. They've gotten so used to me now that they let me know when I need to replace the food by hovering in the window and peeping. I can't wait to see the babies of Miss JJJ and Fluttermunchie - the primary females who sneak past each other's guard to feed - Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. I now know that I've had Costa's drop by too!

Name:  DeAnna / Albuquerque, NM
Comments:  I was just admiring your hummingbird photos and they are really outstanding! Your photos are incredibly sharp to the point that they almost don't even look real (but in a good way). I'm amazed how your photos are just razor sharp despite the small size and high speed of the birds. I tend to get my best shots when they are sitting on the fence. How do you do it?

Comments:  Your whole site and everything about the hummers is absolutely beautiful. I found your site while looking for a hummer ecard or photo to send to my mother, she is a wonderful caring mother who has had to spend a lot of time taking care of me due to some very serious health issues. She has a beautiful backyard, lots of bright flowers and shrubs for the hummers , a pond and lots of moving water for them and oh yes not under about thirty feeders, during migration they swarm her house. I just wanted to thank you for the site. I will pass it on to her, she will love it. I am going to download one of the screensavers right now. Thank You again!

Comments:   Your results, applying your skills with the C-3000 and what would appear to be a strong dose of patience and persistence to the world of the hummingbird, are inspirational. I think your goal of "raising environmental awareness through photography" has been well advanced by what is on display. Congratulations and many thanks.
