April 4, 2019 Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand and Lesley. Lesley's complete Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.   Also I am including an announcement poster sent to me from Melody. Since so many of our monk seal posse are devoted bird watchers it seemed appropriate.  Thank you Melody for thinking of us.

Team Billand went to check the outfall this morning. The fishermen informed them one seal had been there and left before they arrived. Oh well looks like the bosom buddies moved on.

At a nearby beach Team Billand found Ka'ale RH32 on the rocks resting. He was looking around and vocalizing, but he's alone.  Guess he was shouting out just in case there was anyone around, letting them know he the man. Ka'ale is a fat little fella, and as most of you know quite the character. 
Team Billand rechecked on him later and he was in total snooze mode and totally dry.

Next find for Team Billand they found RH92 our girl from Kauai, she was onshore alone.  On Team Billand's last check RH92 remained still on shore alone and some footprints close by. TSK TSK.

Last find for Team Billand was on the westside. They were able to easily ID RL42 Leia, but the other little bugger was a challenge.  Finally there was some movement and they got his tag, RK88 Puna. 
Next to Puna was a mystery female, very clean, no real markings to give them a clue. Then she moved it was RJ58 Kaimana.  She is pretty spotless when it comes to ID'ing marks, lets hope she stays that way.
All three critters stayed together in peace, hopefully there wasn't anyone coming by to bother them.  Team Billand did not stay long as to not attention to them.
