Walkthrough for yesterday's Double Choco: https://youtu.be/M5Knh3fPEgg

Here at GAPP we post a bird every day but barely ever talk about them... these unsung heroes deserve some recognition! So here are a few bird facts you might not know:

1. Owls cannot move their eyes. Instead they can turn their neck 270 degrees to achieve 360 degree vision.

2. Albatrosses can sleep while flying, but they can only do so in 10-second bursts. The ultimate power-napping strategy.

3. Bluejays sometimes collect paint chips as a source of calcium in the spring.

I would go on and on but I need to spread my wings and learn about dinosaurs.

The puzzle itself, a Circles and Squares, is nothing special.

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells is in the shape of a square. Cells with black circles must be shaded, and cells with white circles must not be shaded. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.

Here are previous appearances of this genre in GAPP:
