Black-footed albatross chilling on Monterey Bay. They breed in the Hawaiian Archipelago in winter and spring, then wander across the North Pacific the rest of the year. This is the only albatross seen regularly off the Pacific coast of North America. Jared Figurski an MBARI marine operations engineer who is often out on the bay captaining the R/V Paragon, shot the photo on a beautiful, glassy day on the Monterey Bay. #Mondaymotivation #MontereyBay #Albatross #squadgoals #seabirds #sealife #birdsofinstagram #pacificocean #ocean #oceanlife #seabird #blackfootedalbatross #migration #chillin
