Second stage capture confirmed.
Dragon is berthed!
(NASA's twitter jumped the gun by about five minutes
Although it could have been, the PAO sounded like he didn't want to cover this! Probably just tired due to it being very early morning his time)

Nope, it was as announced. 29 minutes past the hour for berthing confirmation. NASA Twitter must have referenced first stage capture, but second stage capture is the point of berthing confirmation.

If you were hoping to hear or see any of the rodent/mice activities on ISS, don't count on it. After extensive audio discussion of problems setting up two testing facilities this morning, once simple movement of the mice to those facilities was started, it was done in a total video/audio blackout. CAPCOM just confirmed that video restrictions had been lifted and that both Houston and Marshall could once again be called on SG--2 because SG-3 was no longer privatized. The fact that the test subjects would be euthanized, dissected, and frozen on orbit was grudgingly acknowledged in pre-flight briefings but apparently any coverage of those activities is considered too sensitive, disturbing, or otherwise unacceptable to the general public on the open feed...

ISS043E125469 (04/18/2015) --- A dying sun turns the Earth gold with cities sparkling to match the stars that spread out from the International Space Station. NASA astronaut Terry Verts tweeted this wondrous image with the attached comment about the stars: " See those light clusters? (center sky left and right)They are Magellanic clouds, a duo of dwarf galaxies seen from the southern hemisphere".

Working on packing DragonESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti packing cargo for the the Dragon cargo ferry on the International Space Station.
The spacecraft brought fresh supplies and experiments to the weightless research laboratory. Samantha has been performing experiments as diverse as studying fruit flies, investigating small particles in liquids, looking at microscopic worms and growing plants.
Samantha published this image with the text: “Working on packing Dragon...”

Perhaps the trunk breaks apart soon after entry interface, and the lower ballistic coefficient solar panel arrays (which are made of aluminum honeycomb carbon composite sandwich, IIRC) reenter uprange from the rest of the trunk. Either that or there's an alternative splashdown zone for a non-lifting, ballistic reentry (off nominal)

SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule is seen here docked to the Earth facing port of the Harmony module. SpaceX's sixth commercial resupply flight to the International Space Station launched on April 14th and arrived three days later. It will depart with over 3,100 pounds of research samples and equipment and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on May 21.
