Ewa Girl@ Hanauma Bay, et.al., 4-17-08
After a 3 day feeding foray at Spitting Cave, Buster returned to Rabbit Island for a rest. He and Mojo spent the day at the left end of the RI beach. On one of many pans of the beach front, I realized at 1318 that one of the rocks in the mid Middle Cliff area was a critter. It would prove to be RB08.

The highlight of the day was a call from Betty at Hanauma Bay, reporting an animal on the left side rock flats, at 1110. When I arrived at 1130 I found that it was Ewa Girl ! She was last at Hanauma Bay on 3-9-08, an absence of 38 days. During that absence she had been seen on a regular basis from Iroquois Point, to Campbell Industrial Park.

Her Hanauma Bay haul out prior to that had been on 2-23-08, for a single day. She went right back to the Iroquois Pt to Campbell's area again.

Last Wednesday, (3-9-08), she'd been sighted by a diver on the town side of the Reef Runway. I thought then that this might signify a return to this side, but I expected her sooner.

Does today's haul out at Hanauma Bay signify a return to the SE quadrant and Rabbit Island of a birth next week ? (My dollar is on the 25th) ONLY Ewa Girl Knows !!! Aloha, DB
