1/24/2018 Monk Seal Dailies:

Today's dailies are brought to you Gayle, Team Billand and a very special update from our pal Val.

Gayle reported a sunny and beautiful day with one critter on Rabbit Island and no whales. Thank you Gayle.

On a Leeward Beach Team Billand first found Kekoa Alii Rk72 landed upon high rocks looking for any of the others, he was looking mighty tough with nostrils flared. Next to come up on high rock RN14 Kalani, galumphed to upper location and remained there all day.

RW02 PvKauai came in looking for a place to park on the rocks

landed and moved up in the rocks for the day. His tags showing, two marks on his neck and ding on back, marker on right eye.

Team Billand found Kaale RH32 on the rocks already in a deep sleep, resting alone with tags showing. Funny he chose to be by himself..... (that's cuz he's sleeping, when he wakes he look to find someone to head butt).

While looking for seals, Team Billand received a frantic call of a seal on shore, off shore trying to land but too many people around. They got a second call the seal had landed, and Auntie got security to come out and get folks back. Turns out Kolohe RW22 was the seal and he was at KoOlina. When Team Billand arrived he was on the sand near the rocks already zoned off by security. Barbara noted how big he is, well he'll turn 10 this summer. They stuck around and educated folks, who were happy to meet Kolohe. The hotline was called twice. Team Billand left when the crowds thinned.

Last find of the day for Team Billand was RL42 resting peacefully on her side. She is looking is looking healthy and robust.

Big news of the day comes in a Kauai Report by our pal Val. She found TWO seal of interest to our readers! First she found little RJ28 who is Pohaku's 2017 kid. It had been a while since he been seen so Val was thrilled to spend some time with him today. WHAT A SWEETIE!
Her other find R353! She's a Kauai gal that has been hanging out on Oahu for a bit. She still remains skittish but looks beautiful. Val's happy to have her back on Kauai and all the Aunties on Oahu don't have to worry about her.
