As I have finished writing my book and my wife's employer (Airbnb) is allowing her to work remotely through September of next year, we've rented our apartment and will be traveling the next ten months.
We're in SoCal right now but leave for Chile on Wednesday. We're there for month, and we go CA > NV > AZ > NM > CO through Jan and Feb. After that it's KS, OK, AR, and LA in March and April. Then north
along the Mississippi River through May. June and July will be spent in Canada (mostly Ontario) as we're auditioning escape possibilities. Airbnb gives Sonia 6 weeks of paid vacay for making it 5 years, so
we're going to use those to got to Norway/Sweden/Finland during the end of July and August. Upon returning, we'll pick up the car in Philly and drive back to CA to end our adventure. The kicker is that I'll
be leading tours for Tropical Birding as we move around, so I'll be traveling on top of traveling. I do MN in Feb, MA in Feb, TX in April, FL in May, NC in May, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia in early July,
Yellowstone in mid-Sept, and Northern CA right as we return home at the end of Sept. So, it's going to be a very hectic year! Fortunately my wife and are are equally adventures, independent, and energetic.
Our lodging will be a combination of Airbnb, staying with friends, and pet/house sitting for people we've met online. Scandinavia will be mostly camping. It would be fun to meet some fellow BPNers as we
move around.
Here is a frame from Riverside County in SoCal before we fly to Chile next week. I think they prey is a fresh-caught Savannah Sparrow. Lots of good perches in this area thanks to David Salem!

Processed in LR CC. Cloned out some twigs at bottom right.
Prolly shoulda closed down a bit to get more DOF on the tail. But Christ, I'll take it.
