8/31/2010 DB Dailies

On my first look at Rabbit Island I found M&M at the left end , and Ewa Girl at the right end. EG's D#5 molt is 25%.

When I got back to Makai Pier I found that Buster, Kolohe and Duke had joined the cast, all at the left end. Buster and Kolohe were near M&M, Duke was 50 ft right of the group. All remained there all day.

Team Billand had a busy little day. At 0845 they found Makaiwi at Campbell Industrial Park.

At 1005 they reported that they were responding to a Dera call about a "dead seal" at Maili, and another animal at Makaha. The Makaha animal would prove to be RI37.

The Maili animal proved to be a very much alive, Kermit, however they did observed a new right side neck wound on Kermit that had not been there yesterday. It looks deep, but as we've learned, all these animals have amazing recuperative powers, not the least of which is Kermie.

Poor Kermit. He looks done in, like he needs a long rest. I hope he sticks around for a while and has some good snoozing time. When is he due to molt? Diane

I think he molted in Nov. at White Plains. He is all bus up, but he still got life in him, just he is cruising around. I was disappointed he didnt show up with Miss Irma, he usually does when she returns the past three years we been observing. Shucks...I had it all planned out, finding them together..but, maybe Kermit came back too soon...maybe Kermit had the wrong days figured on her return, like us. He.He. But...Barbara and Rob are not giving up, we will find that girl and guy together some where soon. Lets bow our heads, cross our flippers in silence...he.he. Oh come on, we all need a little humore once in a while, RIGHT????? Kden..seal ya.

Barb... maybe thats' what Maka'iwi been folding her flippers and praying for .. Irma come home... its time.

Barbara said...

Good one Donna. Could be the reason Makaiwi DOES PRAY ALL THE TIME. I always said, she is Catholic. Or, she just prays for the safety of all seals, PERIOD! Or, she is praying for a GOOD SIZED TAKO.

Or she praying for her guardian angels (rob and barb).... thats what i think!
