At 0545 I found Irma (R010) waiting for me at Makapuu Beach. She had obviously overnighted. I redid the cordon, and continued the adventure. On my 1400 Irma was gone.

At 0643 I found Kolohe (RW22) up in the Morning Glory, 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. He would move down at 1020,allowing the ID. He remained all day.

On a pan at 0947 I suddenly became aware of a portion of small belly sticking out from behind a rock at Left Middle Cliff, RI. It had no doubt been there all along, but I failed to see it until the lighting got just right. At 1108 it would proved to Nani (RK60). She would move down for a quick cool off and then moved back up. She remained the rest of the day.

On a drive through recheck of Sandy Beach at 0846 I found Buster (RV08) just hauling out to the east end of the beach. I hurriedly got a parking spot and returned with the equipment but alas he had departed. He did the same thing yesterday. He too is on his own Irma Quest, and finding nobody, he departs. Today however he had a little extra incentive in the form of a Chinese tour bus that descend on him before I could get to the spot.

Gayle called at 1150 to advise that Buster had done a quick Lanai Lookout, Kaiwi check, and once again he continued on when he found no Kaiwi. He returned again 5 minutes later, with the same result.

Zeeny called at 0659 with the report of R912 well down from the Mokuleia site, toward Camp Erdman. She would call again at 0730 reporting RL42 at the pupping site. Tracy called at 1225 to advise that she had given RL42 her "N20" bleach. Tracy also reported that the she found the weaner at a small cove next to the KP parking lot. She is broadening her horizons.

Team Billand called at 0702 advising that volunteer Ross had found M&M (R020)near #1708, White Plains. When the Billands checked later, M&M was gone. They checked in again at 1250 to advise that M&M was back, and that Benny (RE74) was now on the Ewa Beach side of the White Plains, east end perimeter fence.

Dera called at 1522 with the report of an animal at San Souci . She got the Rocky (RH58) ID at 1545.
