11/28/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: Benny, RN14, Ka'ale and 2 U/Us off Campbells

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand and Lesley. I included Lesley's full report and photos in part 2, she had a big day with five seals.

Team Billand was out at Makaha at 6 am found a seal snorting by the Naupaka. It was da Benny and he wasn't happy. The yoga couple was out again do their thing walked into in the zone. Benny reacted by leaving the zone. At 6:50 am Benny headed straight out in the water. After waiting for several hours Benny never came back, they did call the hotline to inform.

Team Billand's next find was RN14 at Maili. He was on lower rocks, kept looking around, but they never saw any other seals around.

Barbara was thrilled to find sweet Ka'ale at Kahe, on the rocks. He was on his back showing off his big white belly just chilling. He's looking very healthy nice girth and cute as ever.

Lastly Team Billand saw two critters foraging off of Campbells.  Initially there was just one seal foraging doing 5 minute dives, then the dive times changed because there now was a second seal. They spent time trying to get an ID but it's never easy when they're 300 ft off shore. Both adults, one was light in color (as in recently molted) little green around the face. The other was grubby fur. They both had tags but unable to read. That's okay just good to know they are out there.
