Independence Day for an injured Peregrine Falcon. Her flight feathers were destroyed when she flew through a methane flare at a landfill. Today, a year and a half later, I released her back to wild. Here's a link to a Substack post with video from today. https://t.co/VCD88KCE8n

Happy International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day! Here’s a Raven I photographed a couple of years ago. Guess I should wear black today. 😊

The film "Desert Warrior" was just released—coincidentally on our daughter Clara's birthday. She was on the crew of this film in Saudi Arabia, working as director Rupert Wyatt's assistant. Here's a link to the trailer. https://t.co/yo9EKWuAtf

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! ☘️ May the craic be with you! A few years ago in Portmagee, Ireland. The picture behind me in the pub is of the nearby island of Skellig Michael, which was featured in the film Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

People are always telling me I should write about all the great concerts I went to in my teens—most of which I snuck into. Here's the first one, about John Hammond and Little Richard. Enjoy! https://t.co/fNzqE1uZYR

Cruising with Jeff Beck on the drive home this morning. I go through a major white-out about halfway through this. Glad to be home now. 😊

@PaulSalopek @outofedenwalk Merry Christmas, Paul. I truly regret that I didn’t take part in your epic walk. Such a remarkable journey.

“Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…”

Should be an interesting Halloween night—40 degrees Fahrenheit with high winds and a 45 percent chance of rain. 🎃 Of course, I remember taking our kids out trick or treating a few times in howling blizzards, where you couldn’t see their costumes because they were wearing parkas.

Happy Birthday to my good friend, Bobby Harrison! 🎂😊🎉
