8/3/2010 DB Dailies

It was a misty, overcast day for Rabbit Island observations, but since I wasn't there much it really didn't matter. At 0650 I found Duke cruisin' in the Morning Glory at 1BS, and Kolohe at what has become his usual location of late, at the right end of the beach. I would later find Sadie at the left end tucked into the base of the cliff, left of 1BS. When I got back to Makai Pier at 0915 I found that Buster had joined the cast , at the left end, and moments later chubby little Sam hauled out to join him. Duke would later move over to join them. Sadie , as usual, moved down and into the water at 1028. I did not see her again today.

The highlight of the day began with a call from Dera, at 1057, with the report of an animal in Waikiki, near lifeguard stand 2E. When I arrived at 1134 I found Makaiwi (4DF), mid way between lifeguard stands 2F and 2E (across from the Zoo). The lifeguards already had her taped off so I just put out signs, and remained until 1400 doing public relations. Posse members Don and Karen also pulled shifts. ( I think Maka'iwi heard all about Papa Seal Whisperer and had to make her way to meet him... this kid knows she has that charm... I do hope she doesn't stay in or around Waikiki for long...  So interesting that after all that time at Nimitz she takes off and lands herself here... She is a cutie! )

This was D#35 for R5AY & Pup at Turtle Bay. I'm told that they relocated late yesterday to a spot a tad right of the "Keike Pond", where all this began.
