We invaded France and no one will sell us a croissant. It’s very hard on the men.

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state? HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I took a bunch of pictures with my thermal scope and stitched them together into this panorama. So this is long-wave infrared, showing actual temperature differences (black = cold, white = hot). #infrared #thermal #lwir

Here's some of what I picked up before the clouds rolled in. This is 9 minutes of migrating birds played back at 20x speed with trails to emphasize their movements. So many birds up there - this is a pretty narrow field of view! #birds

This is about 100 minutes worth of bird migration paths directly over my house, played back in just under one minute. Captured in infrared around 1am last night (October 2nd). Approximately 10 degree field of view, looking straight up. The occasional bat too! Most birds heading southwest. #birds

After playing a weird game of "spot the differences", I've concluded that I got a picture of three different screech owl nestlings! Two of them have since fledged. I suspect the third probably did too this evening. #birds

I'm hardly even tuned into the spring migration. I'm too busy following various nests. Belted Kingfisher, Prothonotary Warbler, Pileated Woodpecker, Eastern Screech Owl, Tufted Titmouse, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Eastern Bluebird... So many are fledging now. Great photo opportunities. #birds

Yes, got myself a kingfisher burrow this year. Been photographing them from a portable hide while sitting in the creek! The parents always perch on the same branch before delivering food. #birds

Rare look at a Northern Rough-winged Swallow on the ground. I was standing by the edge of the lake, watching other birds, when I noticed the swallows kept zipping around me. I surmised that they wanted to land on the muddy ground, so I moved over to the side and crouched down and waited... #birds
