7/18/2018 Monk Seal Dailies: (part 2) Lesley's Ka'ena Update

As usual all seals were called in to the hotline.

Had to go down on the rocks to check for the weaners, found RK88 "Puna" (M) D81 asleep in a little pool in one of the Keiki Coves. Managed to sneak this pic before hoping back fast.

At KPt RW02 "PVKauai" and RO40 "Ka'ena" were hauled out on flat reefs sleeping.

Because of the very low tides and very high tides it has been very interesting to observe the unusual locations seals have been hauling out to.

Back at the PlayPen RK88 was foraging on the waterline and hauled out while I was watching him.

Down the next beach in front of our beach access a freshly hauled out RK40 "Napua" (F) D75 was sleeping.

AS yesterday we still have a handful of Albatross chicks hanging around, getting ready to leave.   More tomorrow
