8/19/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: RN14, Rocky (RH58), Kaiwi (RK96), Kawena (RH36), Right Spot (R016), RJ28 & RJ22

Today's Dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, Mrs. Whisper, Gayle, Melody and our pal Val with some Kauai critters.  Thank you as always for your contributions!

Team Billand combed the west side and found RN14. Upon arrival RN14 was already roped off by realtor Amy who said he had hauled out at 8 am. Apparently two young girls ran into the area and startled him and he reared up left the site at 9:23 am.

They later found RN14 hauling out at a different site on the west side. He was looking for his buddy but he ended up being the lone seal.

Melody sent photos of Rocky on the westside and reported she arrived sometime between 9 pm Friday which was the last time she checked the beach and 7:30 am which is the first she was spotted up in the foliage in Cove 7.  The hotline was called and volunteer was on site at 9 am.

Mrs. Whisperer found RK96 Kaiwi at 9:00 am on the east side at the flats. Nice to have her away from the crowds and getting some rest.  Mrs. Whisperer  spent an hour at Makai Pier this morning and found a juvenile near the seal rick inlet. She is reasonably sure it was RH36 Kawena  based on the left shoulder and what appears to ne N36. She appears to be very green.

Gayle found a U/F on the east side, she suspects it was Right Spot (R016).  I checked instagram today and in fact Right Spot was reported in that area along with Buster.  (wish we had some of those pictures).  

And lastly our pal Val sent a couple of shots of weaner cuteness. We have KP2's half brother RJ22 and Pohaku's kid RJ28.  As Val put it a couple of chubby gems!
