I wonder why this guide hasn’t been worked on in a long time.

I had planned on keeping at it, but since it started I began grad school, helped take care of a family member who was going through cancer (and didn't survive), a grandparent died and had to help take care of the estate, had to keep up with a full-time job, classes, and write a thesis. Add in a vehicular accident last year from being rear-ended (I'm ok) and dealing with insurance :mad: was the cherry on top. Now that I'm finishing up my degree this May I plan on finishing it. It's been a rough 2 years.
 
That’s very unfortunate! I’m quite sorry about that. I have several photos of herons that you could use when you can get back to it, just so you know.
