    Covid - effect on bird tourism

    I cancelled a summer trip to SE Brazil - wonder what 2021 will bring? What do you think will be the safest countries for travel in summer 2021? I was thinking of doing something in Europe, but given the recent numbers not sure Europe is any better than S. America or N. America.
