11-6-11 Turtle Bay Extravaganza

Well it appears Turtle Bay is the hot spot for the ladies..... young and old.  The last couple of days there have been reports of multiple sightings with a time when they all showed up together. This is both exciting and unnerving.... it's not about just watching over weaner La'akea but needing some regular monitoring of this group of gals.!  


For all the folks who have been putting in the miles and hours a HUGE MAHALO.... I am sure many of you out there.... but for Kellygirl, Vera, Diga, Karen Turner, Karen Rohter, who continuously keep us updated with great photos.... a very special thank you.


R017 Lona and friends. Karen Turner sent this great shot... LOVE the perspective of Lona in foreground, with La'akea and R5AY in the background.

Thanks Donna, just wanted to let you know that the two shots of the belly below what is left over of Ua Malie and her molt is Lona...a belly shot and a long shot the ones below that are of course Ua Malie. It was just amazing to see that many seal. I can remember treking for months not even seeing one in hope of finding Ua Malie and then today there were 5 amazing.

I had a dream that Irma and Kermit brought Max back to a very busy beach then left him there. It was too sureal. But Max was fine and really cute.

ok thanks again for keeping us up to day on the blog. me ke aloha kelly girl

I miss Max....and a special Mahalo to Kelly Girl and all the other people who protect our friends from the sea.

Aloha!

Donna, I think that is Ua's white belly, not Lona. So fun to see so many seals but too much for one person to watch. Yikes! Diane

The shot right UNDER Ua Malie with her molting back to the camera is a belly shot of Lona also the one after the rest below that are Ua Malie with her very white tummy coat.
