Peek-a-boo with an octopus and her eggs 🙈

MBARI researchers used ROVs to study pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mothers nesting near warm seafloor springs. Unlike other deep-sea octopuses, their eggs hatched in under two years. The extra warmth boosted metabolism of the moms and their broods.

While Steller's jays aren't usually considered 'round' birds, when you floof out your feathers the right way, you too can be round 😊

#Birds #StellersJay #Jays #BirdOfTheDay #Round #WednesJay #BackyardBirds #Photography #Edmonds #BirdNerd
A blue and black Steller's jay standing on a weathered wooden trellis looking at the camera. Its feathers are floofed out giving its body a rounded appearance. The background is blurred dark green and brown, and some blurry green leaves are visible in the upper right hand corner of the image.
