At 0608 I found an overnighted Kea (RN46) at the outfall , Sandy Beach. He has remained all day. Gayle called at 1745 to advise that Kea was departing. As I was driving thru Sandy’s after Gayle and I loaded up the stuff, Cianna called at 1754 with a report of a “swimming head” amongst the line up at Sandy’s I could confirm that it was Kea heading off to Tako Bell for supper.  

I arrived at Makai Pier at 0650 to find Duke (RA12) & Kaiwi (RK96) together 80 ft left of 1BS, and Aukai (RL12) & Kainoa (RN04) in the Morning Glory, 40&60 ft left of 1BS. Aukai would move down and depart at 1144. I did not see her again today. Kainoa would be gone when I got back to the pier at 1144, but at 1145 I found him hauling out to the far left end of the beach, and galumph up to join Kaiwi & Duke. All three remained the rest of the day. Duke’s D#3 molt is 10%.

 At 1218 Ocean Safety called with the report of an animal at Kaimana Beach. I notified Dana. Awaiting further word.

 At 1313 Team Billands advised that they’d received a call about an animal at White Plains, and were responding. At 1359 the confirmed the Haupu (RB24) ID, fronting #1707.

DigaMail brought news from the Upper East Side. Diane,Karen T&Lesley did the Turtle Bay area trek. They found Ua’ Malie (RT10) at “Ua’s Hideaway”, High Rock. At Hanaka’ilio Beach (2nd Beach) they found La’akea (RK82).
