Team Billand's only find today was Ka'ale RH32 snoozing all alone this morning. He remained for the day during the super high tide. They searched from Iroquios to Maili and found no seals, well Barb sorry to day your timing was off today. Team Billand was hopeful when spotting a yellow sign and check to see if there was a seal, but NO... it was an old monk seal sign turned into turtle signs for eggs. Cool Recycle/Reuse!
Gayle didn't send photos but did check Rabbit Island and spotted one Unknown. She checked for Right Spot but no luck.Our pal Val sent an amazing photo of three seals resting on a beach on Kauai while she was doing net patrol. She identified them a RK22 foreground, RV18 in the middle and RF30 at the end. If you remember V18 was just recently on Oahu, and is back home. To quote Val "Life is good when ya do good."
With GREAT excitement photographer Melody Bentz spotted Rocky at Iroquios Point early evening and estimated she had been there for a few hours based on no sign of her wallows from hauling out. Melody reported her looking good, then and a lot of algae. After being there for 30 minutes she hauled back into the water. When Melody left she was foraging along the rocks in the cove... which means she'll be putting on some weight soon. Thank you Melody!
Ka'ale RH32
Kauai Seals: RK22, V18 (V26/27), and RF30
unfortunately if you look closely there is a huge amount of plastic that has been washed up.
