7-9-2013 Reef Runway N36 U'ilani

Aloha Good People

Yesterday during the tagging process the NOAA team gave Aileen the privilege in selecting the tag numbers for our weaner. Aileen has been a monk seal guardian now for a couple of years watching, reporting and looking after the monk seals that frequent the beach out by the airport. If it had not been for her we would have never known about Ewa Girls secret spot. For that we are truly grateful  Barbara mentioned Aileen was asked to come up with a name and wasn't sure, but on the way home Barb received a call from her while listen to music.... this song was playing and she decided U'ilani was the name for our weaner.  Here is the link to the music....  Listen while you look at the photos I took today of U'ilani!

After walking the beach for about and hour I spotted her off the shore line at a beach past the birthing beach heading towards Diamond Head

 This chubby girl hasn't skipped a beat... she found herself some lunch

 She spent a lot of time diving and stirring up the bottom... hmm she came up with some seaweed 

at least i think it's seaweed

 After hunting and diving for 45 minutes... she decided to haul out back at the birthing beach

Time for me to go and this little one get some rest.
