12-18-11 DB Dailies


My first look at Rabbit Island brought my first critters. At 0700 I found RM38 in the vegetation behind Seal Rock Inlet on RI. He would later move down to cool off .

At 0716 on a pan I found Sadie (RB12) up in the Morning Glory, 40 ft left of 1BS. She would be joined at 0939 by Kolohe (RW22). They snoozed in the Morning Glory a while, before they too move down near the water line to cool off. The whole RI cast would remain all day.

At 0730 I found Irma (R010) at the "Cockroach Cove" surf break at Kaupo Beach Park. I got her cordoned off and she would remain until 1549, when she departed of her own volition. For the most part she had an uneventful day, but there must always be a few who just don't get it. Fortunately, my pal DOCARE Officer Ken, was working today, and made his presence known at the Irma site.

At 1029 posse member Terry called to advise that Kaiwi (RK96) was fronting the cave at Spitting Cave. Marilyn responded in my stead, and she too confirmed the Kaiwi.

Dana called at 0815 to advise of an animal at Diamond Head. She said Colleen was responding. Colleen and I spoke a couple of time, and she confirmed the ID as Kermit (R012), at 1145. It looks like he is hot on Irma's trail. Tomorrow should be interesting.

Team Billand went nuts in the SW quadrant today. They began with the report of M&M (R020), at Kalaeloa Campgrounds at 1012.

At 1401 they reported Benny (RE74) at Maili Point.  At 1429 came the report of Pohaku (RO28) at Tracks.  Lastly, a 1443 the found 2AW at Electric Beach.

Ocean Safety called at 1330 advising of an animal at 3 Tables on the North Shore (next to Shark's Cove). I notified Dana. She called at 1433 to advise that volunteer Todd, confirmed RI37.
