10/7/2015 DB's Dailies: Kea,Kainoa& 2 U/M@Rabbit Island, Rocky@Kaimana, Nihoa@LahiLahi, Benny@Maili Point, Holokai&La'akea@Turtle Bay

On my 2nd look at Rabbit Island, at 0900, I found Kea (RN46), 60 ft right of 1BS.

 At 0948 3 animals hauled out in a group, to Kea’s location. One would prove to be Kainoa (RN04)(0955). The other two were subadult to adult sized (?) males, with new coats, and 2 red tags. I was never able to get an ID. 

A ColleenTxt a 0722 reported Rocky (RH58), once again at Kaimana Beach. Posse member Christian Young stopped by the site also, and provided Rocky shots.

 Team Billand called a 0740 with the report of Nihoa (R912), back on the west side, at LahiLahi.

 At 0748 they reported Benny (RE74) at Maili Point.

 Melanie Chun checked in at 1336 with the report of Holokai (RG40) at the Keiki Pool. She also advised that Tony Q., had found La’akea (RK82) at Ola’s on the hotel beach at Turtle Bay.
