11-22-2012 DB's Turkey Dailies


I hope this finds ya'll fat and happy after your Thanksgiving pigouts ! Marilyn and I most certainly did our share.

At 0650 I found Aukai (RL12) and Kaiwi (RK96) together at Seal Rock Inlet on Rabbit Island. Both would move down during the day, but remained at that location.

At 0703 I found M38, just as on the last few days, snoozin' in the Morning Glory at 1BS on Rabbit Island. When I got back to Makai Pier at 0849 he was just entering the water. At 0904 he would partially haul out to check out the girls at SRI, but never cleared the water. He would depart, and haul out again to 1BS at 0944, where he remained the rest of the day.

At 0839 Team Billand checked in with the report of M&M (R020) at Tower #1, and and Kermit (R012) fronting #1707 at White Plains.

At 1506 the Billands found Kerby (RW08) at Maili Point.

At 1529 Team Billand reported 2AW at Tracks.

Dana called at 1529 to advise of an animal at Paradise Cove. Linda is responding. Team Billand confirmed the Pohaku (RO28) ID at 1600.

At 1610 the Billands found Benny (RE74) at Secret Beach.

Keith Kenyon did the KP trek today and found RIP (RR70) & an U/U at the end of the world.

Photos from Zeeny's Turtle Bay trip yesterday, have arrived. RL54 is lookin' mighty cute, in the water, and joined her sister, La'akea (RK82) when she hauled out to the elbow.

 Awwww Kerby's all grown up, he's looking like the big boys now. For me, the Kerbster is the very first pup I ever laid my eyes on. Day after seal count April 2008... Ewa Girl counted in as one, and next morning there were two.

Benny was at KoOlina Secret Beach YESTERDAY. THe shots are of him at Maili P. THE OTHER DAY.

And I was sick when we got a call to RETURN TO PLAINS...A lady is laying with M and M in the perimeter. It was 6pm...so we returned, and all the folks had removed themselves from the seal.

It disturbs me, people still try to get that YOUTUBE shot for fun.

Please folks, give the seal its space to rest...how would you like it if we layed next to you, when there is so much space else where??? YOU WOULDNT LIKE IT AT ALL. I know I wouldnt.

Seals are not toys, nor are they pets...they are a struggling mammal in a modern world. Give them a chance to rest, PLEASE.

Admire them from behind the signs and ropes. The beach can be a place for seal AND MAN. Just back off...simple task we ask of humans.

M and M used to be a seal that never went where humans went...but in this year, she is showing up Plains all the time. She is becoming CONDITIONED TO HUMANS. We want our seal to remain WILD, so they can continue to live...FREE. And not dependent on HUMANS. Once again, folks, give the seal space.

We are all priveleged to have our seals come a shore. There arent many left in this world. And Plains is a place, they love to rest at. Dont know why, but they do. So...lets help them out, keep away, RESPECT THIER SMALL SPACE.
