At 0633 Hanauma Bay posse person, Gene called to advise that RA36 was once again at his spot at the east end of the beach. When I arrived at 0640 I confirmed the ID, and cordoned him off. He apparently tired of the adoring hordes and departed around 1100, according to HB personnel.

At 0745 Gayle called to advise that Kaiwi (RK96) was at Spitting Cave.

Zeeny would check in at 1119 to report that Kaiwi was now at Lanai Lookout.

At 0930 I found Nani (RL12) snoozin' in the Morning Glory, left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. She would remain all day.

On a pan at 1035 I found Kolohe (RW22) just hauling out at Rocky Right beach. Moments later he would move out of my line of sight behind the rocks, however multiple checks from the Makapuu Overview through the day, confirmed that he was in fact still there.

At 1420 I found Aukai (RL12) snoozin' in her favorite cave.

At 0703 Toni Russ called from Ewa Beach with the report of an animal near Access 185A. Her photos were inconclusive, however Vera Cober went a bit later, and her shots confirm the Irma (R010) ID.

When Vera and I talked she also advised that she had found caution tape and poles at the cove end of Iroquois Pt this morning, but no animal. Workers advised her that there had been a animal there last night around 1830 , "with an N and lines on it". Sounds like Rocky to me .

At 0721 the Billands reported M&M (R020) at #1708, and Makaiwi (R4DF) at #1707.

At 0820 the Billands called about an animal at the Makaha Princess condo. Debbie responded, but it would be 1418 before the Billands got an ID. We've got yet another Kauai critter. This was a 5 y.o. female (6 in Nov.), born at Mahaulepu, Kaiwi in 2007. They call her Haupu on Kauai. Mom is RK12 (also RA36's mom). She would depart at 1646.

Dera called at 1207 to advise that R5AY was once again along side the highway in Kaaawa.

Dera called again at 1536 with the report , and photo of KC (RK28) in Mokuleia. She has apparently been there for two days.

At 1545 the Billands found Noa (R6FI) and Kerby (RW08) at Maili Point.

The Billands got a call about an animal at Lagoon #3, KoOlina, at 1659. The animal would be gone when they arrived, but shots from witnesses confirmed that it was Benny (RE74).
