12/3/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: Benny, RL42, UU @Electric Beach, Right Spot, Buster, Rabbit Island Critters, Holokai

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, Posse Pals, Vicki, Gayle, Melody. Mrs. Whisperer & Lesley were out at Ka'ena Point today. Lesley's full report is in part two.

Team Billand out at 5:45 am at Makaha they spotted a seal in the Naupaka and heard another seal sneeze!  There was Benny and RL42.  Fortunately no one was around yet, Team Billand called the hotline.  The tide was very high this morning hitting the sea wall going up to the Naupaka.
The house renter woke and started gathering on the porch looking at the seals and taking pictures. The kids came out and were told to go around by their parents (good job!)  All in all good people were delighted to see the two seals, Team Billand shared their binoculars, talked story and gave them monk seal 101 lessons. A little later both Benny and RL42 moved down. Barbara commented it's like a little love story just like the old Irma and Kermit days. Team Billand had to leave at 11 am to check on the other sites. Volunteers were on site.

Team Billand's only other find was two U/Us at Kahe Electric beach area at 11:29. Team Billand was unable to identify or get any further information due to some distractions happening on the beach. Apparently there was someone who was creating enough of a commotion they decided to leave.

In yesterday's news department Vicki sent email last night of Right Spot at Baby Maks. On that note Gayle was out there today and found Buster at Sandy Beach who snoozed most of the day away. Volunteers were on site. Gayle also found four critters on Rabbit Island. Gayle found Right Spot at Kaupo Beach in the tide pool, same place as yesterday. She she must have been restless because she moved to the flat rock area but by 14:00 she left and ended up by the road. Volunteer was there, so Gayle departed around 17:30.

Also in yesterday's news an email from Melody brought pictures of Holokai who was at Turtle Bay yesterday. He was ID'd by his tags G40/41, from the photos looks like he was being very cooperative showing his tags. Hotline was informed. Holokai was on his own, no playmates hanging out with him.
