01/31/2020 Friday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand and Lesley. Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.

Team Billand arrived at the outfall and saw two seal foraging. At first they were fighting, lots of splashing going on, then the two went their separate ways.  Team Billand "thinks" one of them was Kolohe but none of their photos gave them enough to confirm. The other seal unknown, so they both were reported as U/Us.

At 8:30 Team Billand found RN14 Kalani hauled out at a location by the outfall. He was on the rocks to the right trying hard to hang on as the waves were coming in.

At 9:30 they arrived at a west side location and there were multiple seals off shore fighting.  After about an hour they all came in one by one. First seal was RL20 Kalua who immediately pooped and moved to lower rocks. Behind him was Kekoa Alii RK72 who went around the rocks to only come through a small inlet. He turned on his side and went to sleep. 
Then RL20 settled in for a long nap being his cute self.
RW02 PvKauai galumphed in with RL20 had a moment to hug, then he settle on lower rocks. RW02 entered the playboy pond for a cool off, then left the pond and settled on the rocks.

Team Billand went back to check on Kalani RN14 at 12:30.  They found RG28 Lefty next to Kalani, they were both sleeping.
