10-21-2012 DB's Dailies: Ka'ena Point Trek

Today Marilyn and Lesley were in great company with Terrie Williams and Clare Meeker.

They had a great day seeing a great range of our seal population here on Oahu.... Wish I could have made the trip with them.

FYI - Here is a copy of one of the reports Lesley submitted today ( she did it for each of the seals). This is an excellent format, and at the very least a format for volunteers to follow ensure the critical data is captured.  Mahalo Lesley, hope you don't mind I shared.
