Jane Goodall, who broke barriers of all sorts, has passed at age 91. Her accomplishments will always live, because she changed the world, the way we work, and how see humans and our other relatives. Here we are in a Zoom conference together 4 years ago.

My interview with Oprah Winfrey is live! Feel free to enjoy and to share. We ranged from dogs to the sacredness of Life on Earth. I am really pleased with how it turned out and Oprah's producer says it's one of his all-time faves in the series.

I think you’d enjoy this video of the first two tunes of our recent concert in the park on Long Island. It was a perfect afternoon for playing music outdoors. I had a ton of fun with such great musicians:

Alfie's young ones are starting to look like owls!
Alfie continues to be a perfect owl mom. These six owlets bring her lifetime total to 21 hatched. She has never lost one in the nest. All prior broods have fledged. They will probably leave the nest in the 2nd week of June. Her mate Jack has continued to be an able hunter and provider.

On this day 15 years ago, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig underwent a blowout induced by negligence and greed, killing eleven workers and creating the worst individual oil pollution event in US History. I chronicled the months of chaos, fraud, and ineptitude that followed.

@bsky.app Just back from Baja. We went with Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute. At San Ignacio Lagoon, Gray Whales mate and nurse new babies. The whale encounters are extremely well managed. Our local camp and guiding group was Pure Baja Travels; I highly recommend them.
