11/1/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: U/U@Campbells, Ka'ale (RH32), Kekoa Alii (RK72), Lei Ola (RH48), Ua Malie (RT10), Kaimana (RJ58), 2 Rabbit Island Critters and Buster (V08)

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, Tammy T and Gayle. Thank you for putting up with the steamy hot weather today. 

Team Billand captured an amazing sunrise, I had to look twice to see if it was in upside down, I assure you it's facing the right way. Their first find at Campbells is a U/U doing 6-7 minute dives. Critter has a nice clean coat, but unable to get any other info.  

Team Billands next stop at Maili brought them three critters. Ka'ale RH32 was on the front rocks, high up, resting alone. Just across from him resting mid rocks was his buddy Kekoa Alii RK72.  And then there was Lei Ola RH48 away from the boys in a deep sleep. She still has the nasty hook embedded in the left corner of her mouth, but she looks plump and resting peacefully. Boys were not bugging her today. 

Tammy T was on the North Shore today and her first find was Ua Malie RT10 hanging out on her own today, guess she had enough of family time. Only Ua knows, but glad Tammy spotted her despite she wasn't in her normal location.  Tammy's next find was RJ58 Kaimana looking content and resting quite peacefully. She was also alone on the shoreline. 


Gayle spotted two critters on Rabbit Island today and sent a beautiful shot of Makapuu Beach in all it's beauty.  Gayle also found Buster this evening at Sandy's she left him at 18:30. I wonder if he was the other adult on Moku Nui yesterday. Hmmmm Buster was that you?


Sunrise - sunset - It's a sunrise!

I am so inspired by the posse that keeps this legacy going, thank you to all and especially Donna for making sure we have not only a voice, but providing crucial information for real response. I know that the efforts that so many people have made has made a huge difference for our seals. I don't know if anyone has said it lately,but not using DB's words, he would be proud. Monk seal ohana keep it going.
