12/6/2017 Monk Seal Dailies (part 1) UU@Makua Cliffs, RH32 Kaale, R028 Pohaku, RJ16 Kahulu, R016 Right Spot and 6 Rabbit Island Critters

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand Posse pals Vicki, Gayle and a full report from Lesley in dailies part 2.

Team Billand was out at Makua Cliffs and while taking pictures of the waves Barbara spotted what she thought was a fish, but it was not!  A small seal foraging doing 7 minute dives. To get a better view they moved to the cliff and the critter moved along the coastline about 150 feet out. The seal had red tags, not readable and not able to get a picture. Small unidentified unknown then disappeared.

Team Billand spent much of the day searching so many beached not finding any seals, UNTIL they were out at Kahe. They came across one critter Ka'ale RH32 ID'd by his tag. He is looking fine no new dings.

Team Billand's saw a seal foraging alone offshore at Campbells. Adult seal doing 10 minute dives alone, large cookie scare on left side of body and ding on head. Barbara was able to positively ID R028 Pohaku.  I bet it has to feel good to ID a seal while their out there in the water.

Posse pal Vicki was out today and was coming up empty until she came across RJ16 Kahulu resting solo all nice and dry. 

Gayle checked the keiki pool this morning for Right Spot but she wasn't there. The regular surfers told her she was down by Makai Pier end. Gayle found her and Right Spot spent the day snoozing away.

Gayle found 6 critters on Rabbit Island today and as Gayle said the really cool part is that they were all together on the left end of the island.
