3-16-2012 DB's Dailies: Kolohe&U/M@RI, Kaiwi@SB, Irma@KK, KC@KBP, Benny&2AW@Makaha, R018@Sec.Bch, RO28-KoOlina, Noa@Maili

After a long hard day of observation , I ended the day with a Rabbit Island cast of Kolohe (RW22), and what I have to carry as an U/M, even though I think I might have seen Buster's bleach, but I can't really make a confirmed ID.

At 0720 a very happy posse member Gayle called with the report of Kaiwi (RK96) tucked into the Naupaka at Kaiwi Kove. She had not been there on my earlier check. The Elves were happy again, getting to spend quality time with their girl. She remained all day, beginning her move down at 1840 and reaching open water at 1855. Tomorrow ??

Fisherman posse member Emmit called at 0717 with the report of an animal in Irma's Grotto, Kokee Flats. When I arrived at 0746 I found Irma (R010) snoozin' at the grotto.

On my way to round #2 at Makai Pier, I spied an animal at KBP, visible from the road. It would prove to be KC (RK28). I got her cordoned off, and she remained there until 1630 when she departed of her own volition.

At 0930 Team Billand reported Benny (RE74) at Makaha Beach.

At 1037 the found 2AW, at the other end of Makaha Beach.

R018 was their next find, at 1206 at Secret Beach, KoOlina.

At 1410 the Billands found Pohaku (RO28) at the Banyan Tree, KoOlina, with people all around her and waaaaay to close.

At 1710 they found Noa (R6FI), at Maili.

 Kaiwi @ Kaiwi Kove

 Zeeny has a gift for capturing this little one in the oddest positions

 I mean really!  This is actually a great shot of her fanning tail

 KC "Kaaawa Critter"  LOL  I know she goes there sometimes!  She actually like the MCBH a lot too. 

 KC with her infamous cookie cutter shark bite
