12/29/2014 DB's Dailies: Aukai&RM38@RI, Kea@SB, Rocky@KK, Haupu & RIP@WP, Kolohe@Lani's&Secrets, RK36@Maili Guard Rails,

On my 4th check of the Sandy Beach outfall, at 0855, I found a newly arrived Kea (RN46), tucked into his favorite Naupaka. I cordoned him off, and he has remained the rest of the day. Gayle reported Kea’s departure at 1748.

 At 1000 on my 2nd look at Rabbit Island, I found Aukai (RL12), 50 ft right of 1BS.

 At 1054 she would be joined by RM38. Both would remain the rest of the day.

 Posse member Linda Nichols called at 1250 with the report of Rocky , once again behind her home at Kokee Flats. We confirmed the Rocky (RH58) ID on arrival at 1320.

 Mahalos to Marilyn, Melanie & Gayle for another day combing the quadrant.

 At 0935 Team Billand reported Haupu (RB24) at the fence line, White Plains.

Bev reported that Haupu had been struck by a flying beach umbrella at 1339, and she departed, only return at 1407, apparently none the worse for wear.

 At 0935 the Billands also saw an animal down the beach. At 0944 they confirmed the RIP (RR70) ID, fronting #1707, WP.

 Dana called at 1132 with the report of Kolohe (RW22) at Lanikohonua, KoOlina. A Dana text at 1250 advised that he had relocated to Secrets.

 At 1524 Team Billand found RK36 at Maili Guard Rails.
