7/30/2018 Monk Seal Dailies: (part 1) RH32, RK88, RH48, RE74 & RL42

Today's dailies are brought to you by Lesley and Team Billand. As usual Lesley's complete update is part 2 of the dailies. 

Team Billand did their early morning check to the outfall. When they arrived Ka'ale was there doing his thing. He apparently stole not one, not two, but at least three akule from a fisherman. Thankfully this particular man is one of the regulars and very nice. Therefore he wasn't upset with Kaale. He had informed Team Billand there were two seals there earlier, but they only found RH32 Ka'ale. He disappeared only after an hour of their observation, they stayed in hopes he would return, but he did not.
On an recheck They found Ka'ale at a nearby beach on the rocks, snoozing and looking chubby, green and comfortable!

Team Billand did the Ka'ena West trek and wasn't having much luck seeing any critters.  Then they noticed some movement and there was a little seal trying to hide in the rocks. It was a young, clean coat little weaner size. To their shock and awe the tag read RK88 and it was Puna. This is the furthest away from Birth Beach he has been (that we know of).  Little buggah is exploring. Team Billand watched as he was very well hidden, so their viewing was limited. When people were heading in their direction they decided to leave to keep him safe.  WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE !!!

Team Billand's next find was the very sweet and lovely Lei Ola RH48. She was resting quietly on the rocks by herself. She is looking plump and the hook is still visible. Hopefully someday she will find a nice sandy beach and get that darn thing taken out.

Last but not certainly not least Team Billand found two seals on a Leeward Beach. They found da Benny RE74 and Leia RL42 together for another day. Benny was close to her, and she was in a small water hole resting. Waves were rising, so it was a matter of time they moved up. No one was there to disturb them which is good news. Who knows next year if RL42 pups again, we have a good guess who da daddy is.

BTW: Just saw on social media that Rocky's pup PK5 is a boy.
