October 18, 2019 Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Lesley.  In yesterday news about Rocky and Kaiwi from Melody.

From Lesley:

On my way to town this morning I saw an overnighted R303 "BG" @ CE Pt.

In the afternoon on my way back I checked on her. She had been joined by RW02 "PVKauai". 

At sunset I looked from the porch and both were still there.  More tomorrow

Melody sent email last night and I had already logged out, sorry two days in a row. BUT it's never too

late to update on our Rocky girl.  Melody started her day in Honolulu to help with the birds and did a check hoping to find Rocky.   It seems she and Buster left Kaimana beach and have been MIA.  Melody did not find Rocky but she was fortunate to find Miss Kaiwi RK96. 

Finally at the end of the day when Melody got home she received a text that a seal had hauled out on the beach near her home.  Melody got there and found none other than Rocky RH58. She had arrived just before sunset and was ID by NB on LFF, scar on right shoulder, and is looking a little thinner. Melody called her into the hotline.  Rocky was very alert and making herself comfortable for the night.  She is still molting maybe about 65% and Melody will follow up with her.
