8/14/2018 Monk Seal Dailies: RH32, RN14, RE74, RO28 & R70

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand.  

Early morning stop by the outfall they spotted Ka'ale right away. There was another critter who turned out to be RN14 Kalani. Both were foraging together, and then RN14 came close to the rocks staring at everyone.  (these boys know how to give stink eye)
About 45 minutes later they lost site of Kalani RN14, and RH32 Ka'ale remained.

Team Billand then went to check a couple of the near by beaches and spotted Kalani RN14 snoozing alone in a water hole. He woke up suddenly looking around and here comes good ole' Benny RE74 flying in, bobbing up and down.  Kalani galumphed towards Benny, he was blocking him from landing. Then it began the fight between the two, causing the both of them to take off towards KoOlina direction. Team Billand jumped into the seal mobile and they were on their way.

Benny arrive @PC bobbing up and down and then he took off. Team Billand went and checked a few other possible haul spots but there was nobody.  They left the area for the day and didn't return.

Back on the road again brought Team Billand out to West Side and saw two seals. There were signs set up but no ropes. Checking out the site they ID'd Pohaku RO28 and RIP RR70. Pohaku was snoozing, RIP was up, rolled over showing his applied bleach N1. Volunteers on site so Team Billand left to check out other areas.
