<\/p>\nA day I hoped wouldn’t come.<\/p>\n
I published the first edition of Feathered Photography over 13 years ago, on August 18, 2010. For the first several months I only published posts sporadically but beginning in December of 2012 I began a daily publishing schedule. I stuck to that schedule with rare exceptions, such as when I flew to Florida to be with my daughter Shannon after her traumatic brain injury or when I didn’t have internet service on camping trips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, my daily publishing schedule is about to change. In fact, you may have noticed that it already has.<\/p>\n
For a variety of reasons, birds and other wildlife are becoming increasingly scarce. Around here those reasons include anthropogenic climate change, the disappearing Great Salt Lake, avian influenza (HPAI), out of control development (I call it “development on steroids”) and what I consider to be mismanagement of our natural resources by federal, state and local agencies such as US Forest Service, Utah State Parks and Murray City Parks.<\/p>\n
I could keep posting daily but I refuse to sacrifice the quality of Feathered Photography by posting run-of-the-mill photos, whether they be ‘pretty bird pictures’ or photos documenting behaviors. And to be perfectly honest, I look forward to some relief from the self-imposed pressure to post daily, with birds and other wildlife becoming increasingly difficult to find.<\/p>\n
I’ll post when I can, when I think I have something of quality and\/or value to offer. How often that will be, I just don’t know. Hopefully, with the changing of the seasons, birds will soon become more prevalent and I’ll be able to resume a posting schedule that more closely resembles what we’re all accustomed to.<\/p>\n
I figured subscribers to Feathered Photography and other loyal blog followers deserve to know what’s going on. I hope you’ll stick with me through the slow times.<\/p>\n
