02/29/2020 (part 2) Lesley's Ka'ena Update

Another windy, blustery, cold morning out in the park.
I only saw 2 seals. When I was on the hill getting to the point I saw a big seal in the Main Pool near the entrance. Because of it's position and the sun light it was hard to get his ID. So I went on to check Back Beach.... wow there was a HMSeal party last night into this morning. The trails from last night had rain marks on them and this morning's ones were dry,heading from the sleep over spots down to the water and towards Main Beach.
Back on Main Beach the seal decide to swim towards shallower water and starting vocalizing. One pic of his face and R330 Squinty was IDed.
20 minutes later a small seal showed up at the entrance of the pool and started making it's way towards the right side reefs it was RL74 Kami. Squinty smelt the little one and went straight to her. There was some splashing and we got to see Squinty try to bite her back. She flew towards the reefs and got out of the pool. 
He tried to follow she turned around on him said something that made him back up. She went on her way and he left the pool. Amazing little girl, kudos for her. Wonder what they feed them at Kaulapapa. These girls got guts !!
There was a lot of Albatrosses flying around before we got some rain. Most of the downpour by passed us we got the sides of it.  More soon ðŸŒº
