According to a 1991 Star Pics trading card, a Bewick’s Wren (pronounced like “Buick”) supposedly greeted viewers during each Twin Peaks episode in seasons 1 and 2. In reality, the bird was a varied female Thrush. The film location for this scene was originally identified by Charles from the now defunct InTwinPeaks.com website. It was…
Early in Twin Peaks Part 1 on Showtime, a 21 second aerial view of the New York City skyline is shown. The key to identifying the footage used for this clip was found when I located the footage used for Diane Evans’ apartment.
One of the first costume props I identified for Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime was Lucy Brennan’s earrings. The first publicity shots from the series were released in March 2017 and included an image of Lucy and Andy Brennan at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department (it’s from a scene in Part 4).
Toward the end of Twin Peaks Part 5 on Showtime, there is a short establishing shot of Buenos Aires, Argentina. As it turns out, this scene has a minor connection to the exterior establishing shot of Diane Evans’ apartment.
Duncan Todd (played by Patrick Fischler) in Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime was an associate of Mr. C.

I spotted this sign while watching A Very Lovely Dream: One Week in Twin Peaks by Charles de Lauzirika on the Twin Peaks Season 3 Blu-ray. I love the little details like this poster used at the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department.
Special Agent Dale Cooper wakes up at a hospital in Twin Peaks Part 16 on Showtime. He quickly departs with Janey-E and Sonny Jim in a 2015 BMW M4 F83 Convertible heading to meet the Mitchum Brothers at the Silver Mustang Casino.
