4/12/2015 DB's Dailies: Kea,Kaiwi&Kainoa@RI, Kolohe&RT12@Maili Pt, RT12@Maili Cove Condos, Nihoa&Maipalaoa, Weaning Day, R5AY&Ola Loa

At 0734 I found what would prove to be Kea (RN46) & Kaiwi (RK96) at the log, 40 ft left of 1BS. Both would independently move down the left end of the beach and spend the rest of the day there. 

At 1231 what would prove to be Kainoa (RN04) would haul out to join the other two at the water line, left end of the beach.

 Team Billand called at 0726 with the report of RT12 & Kolohe foraging together off shore of Maili Point. They would be joined by a 3rd seal at 0810.

 At 0849 they reported Nihoa (R912) hauled out at Maipalaoa Canal.

 A DanaTxt at 1054 advised that volunteer, Carola had reported that R5AY had departed at around 0930. To my knowledge she has not returned by end of day. Ola was said to be happily playing by herself at the pup site. Vera Cober called a dark to confirm that Ola was still alone.

 Team Billand called again at 1125 to advise that RT12 was on the beach at the Maili Cove Condos. 

A DanaMail at 1125 advised that an U/U was said to be at Shark’s Cove. Awaiting further word.

 In the Yesterday’s News department, Kai East & Rikki Gobles sent photos from their treks to Turtle Bay, providing what are probably the last shots of R5AY&Ola together. Both also documented La’akea (RK82) at Right Spot’s Spot, TB.
