DB Post Tuesday April 22nd

Ewa Girl&Pup@Rabbit Island + more, RIP & Mojo@ Spitting Cave
Day #3 for Ewa Girl and pup was routine in every way. I found them at 0657, already doing a feed, which was the first of 6 that I would observe during the day. There were the usual up's and down's to cool off, and at 1245 the first water session occurred, lasting just 3 minutes, but Mom got the kid into 1 foot of water, and the pup flailed around a bit. They then moved back up, with Mom leading the way and making the pup traverse some rocks and 10 ft. of beach incline, which was a formidable workout, with a much deserved feed at the end of the journey.

In addition the the family, Buster, Mojo, M38, R301 and Sadie were also there. Of that mob the most interesting was Mojo, whom I'd seen at Spitting Cave at 0740, and then again at 1008 at Rabbit Island.

The Boehm Clan is to be congratulated for having pulled off a miracle and actually getting a couple of shots through my spotting scope. Aloha, DB
