DB Post Wednesday July 9th



Kerby,Hoku,Kolohe,RIP&Buster@RI, Rocky@DH,M&M News & New Signs, 7-9-08
The Rabbit Island cast was pretty much the same as it has been for several days now. All 3 of our weaners were present, and I saw no interaction today. RIP and Buster were also present, but only interacted with one another, in my presence. Sadie stayed by herself down at the right end of the island.

At 0900 I joined David Nichols at Makai Research Pier. He put up new Gill Net Rules, and Monk Seal/Rabbit Island signs. I don't have a lot of faith that the bad guys will care, but it can't hurt. Additional signs are to be located at Kaupo Beach Park and Kaiona Beach Park.

Posse member Rachel, called at 1515 to report that Rocky had hauled out at DH at 1500. She put up signs.

Though it was an interesting day, the real highlight came at 1555 with a call, and a later email from Tracy, who did aerial surveys of Molokai today. To our shock and awe she found what proved to be M&M (My Mystery Molter) at Laua Pt., on Molokai, WITH her 3 to 4 week old pup !!!! That is truly fantastic news. I knew M&M was pregnant, and she dropped off the radar at just the right time, and lo and behold now we know why, and where ! I LOVE this stuff !!!! Aloha, DB
