3-7-2012 DB Dailies:Sadie,Kolohe&Nani@RI, Kaiwi@SB, Rocky@MI, Irma@DH, T15M@KCG, Duke@Molokai

At 0721 I found what would prove to be Sadie (RB12) tucked into the base of the cliff, 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. It would take until 1400 to finally get the ID.

On my 2nd RI check I found Kolohe (RW22) on the water front rocks , right of Seal Rock Inlet. He would relocated at 1230.

At 1011 Nani (RK60) hauled out 40 ft right of 1BS on RI. She would be joined at 1230 by Kolohe. The would remain there together the rest of the day.

At 1030 posse member Robert called to advise that Kaiwi (RK96) was in her Naupaka bush at Kaiwi Kove. The elves were on it ! Kaiwi snoozed away the rest of the day, starting her departure at 1806, and reaching open water at 1811.

Even though we know where Kaiwi was today, I'm attaching yesterday's Kaiwi map which Dera sent late this afternoon. For the first time it shows that Kaiwi went around the corner at Makapuu, and was nearing Rabbit Island as of 0100. Verrrrry, interesting !

Team Billand called at 0828 to report T15M at Kalaeloa Campgrounds.

At 0945 Colleen called with the report of an animal at Diamond Head. She would later confirm the Irma (R010) ID.

Dera checked in at 1158 with the report of an animal at the trough, at Magic Island. Sean confirmed the Rocky (RH58) ID. He went to bleach her, but Rocky won't cooperate.

Email from Dr. Charles advised that Duke (RA12) has FINALLY phoned home ! He got his transmitter on 1-23-12, and immediately split for Molokai. He was reported there by Diane Pike on 1-26-12. His transmitter has never sent a signal until today. It shows him cruisin' on an off shore island of east Molokai.

Karen Bryan forwarded photos from Game Warden Mark Takekawa, confirming KC's(RK28) presence yesterday at around 1700 behind #1605, MCBH. Those of you who served KP2 duty, eons ago will recognize the bench she hauled out too. It was our base of operation on that project.

Volunteers were out in force , combing the North Shore for the possible Mom & Pup reported at Haleiwa yesterday. There were no sightings.

At 1630 Team Billand found Benny (RE74) at Maili Point.

At 1700 they reported Pohaku (RO28) at Electric Beach.

 Benny @ Maili Point

 Benny when you're looking around... open your eyes bud.

 BOTH eyes!

 okay.... you got some major scar tissue on your right side

 T15 Sharkbite  

 he's looking a little skinny... probably the position

 This is an amazing shot showing how he uses his one flipper... pretty strong

 RO28 - nice shot 

 Geesh they will sleep just about anywhere

Okay... I recognize the area... but REALLY.... she's at the picnic table...KC... your suppose to be on the beach!

 Wonder if she was the character on the beach this past weekend... Got to say... this is a great picture
