"I enjoyed perusing every page of your “Wings Over Duluth” book today! Your portraits really highlight each bird species’ sweet nature and personality. I was happy to see that you not only tolerate the barn swallows nesting on your porch, but that you enjoy hosting them every year! I know their mud nests and poop can be messy, but it’s a small price to pay to share space with such beautiful birds. Like you, I see my backyard birds as wonderful companions – anecdotes to loneliness (during a pandemic or otherwise). I feel like a I’m connected to something much bigger and grander while catering to and observing songbirds. What a privilege to have them in our lives!" Linda May
"I love your beautiful book" Ann Odum
"Mary brings her photographs to life in their own form. She is so good at capturing birds at various levels. Whether they are sitting still or inflight, Mary is so good at getting the best angles of a bird. This book is such wealth of photos, Mary did all the work and you get to see all the different pictures where she captured just the right photo. You can enjoy her work by opening the book and turning the pages. Buy a copy and see for yourself!" Michael Hopkins
"Books arrived, the photographs are beautiful." Susan Hanson
"I love my book, of course, and thank you for your thoughtfulness. Signing each book was an added gift." Marguerite Camus-Platz
