9/28/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: Pohaku, RIP, Kekoa Alii, and Right Spot.

Today's Dailies are brought to you by Posse Pal Gayle and Team Billand. 

Team Billand found Pohaku RO28 at 6:09 am between Lanis and Paradise Cove.  When they arrived there were many footprints and paw prints around her, hopefully all occurred before Pohaku arrived.
They put out three signs, when Pohaku suddenly looked towards the water and left the scene. Barb headed for Paradise cove and Pohaku came through the channel and galumphed onto the rocks. They then replaced signs across paradise cove side, educated lots of interested folks.  

HERE is one of those AHA moments, I personally love when these experiences happen.  Two of the folks had a picture of two seals, Barb informed them that's Pohaku and Benny at Secrets from another day. Then they showed her a picture of "her" (Barbara) from Japan. Turns out Team Billand had educated a Japanese visitor who had spent four days, the woman posted Barbara's picture from years ago.  
Another fun tidbit from Pohaku is she made a friend today... well maybe not exactly a friend but this bird was wanting to hang out with her.

Team Billands next find if the day Kekoa Alii at Maili, He was alone, nice and fat. At 9:15 he galumphed into the water , swam around to the left side looking for a friend but no luck. 10:28 am Kekoa swam out to sea, not to be seen again. 

At 10:40 am Team Billand spots another seal came in to lower rocks and he was ID'd as RIP RR70, by his tag, a ding on his mid back and big body getting green. He stayed through waves slapping over him. On a recheck at 2 pm he was still there sleeping in the same spot. 

Posse Pal Gayle found Right Spot (RO16) playing in the keiki pool this morning, but around 12:15 she decided to move to another location on the same beach.
