9/21/2018 Monk Seal Dailies (part 1) RH32, RK72, RO28, RH48

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand and Lesley. Lesley's completer update both morning and afternoon are part 2 of the dailies.

Team Billand was on their way to Ka'ale's Kitchen but on their way there they noticed a seal foraging along the shoreline. They got to the outfall and briefly saw two seals. They were able to ID Kekoa RK72, and Kaale RH32. They don't think either one of them was the critter they saw foraging.
Kekoa and Kaale ended up hauling out at a nearby beach. Apparently Kekoa came into the rocky shoreline very cautiously..... but not Ka'ale he just busted his way through.

Team Billand arrived at the campgrounds on the Ewa Side and saw that Pohaku RO28 was already roped off. Volunteer Karen was on site.  The grounds are open for the weekend and having the ropes up is good to keep the public at a distance. Pohaku is about 10% molted all on her upper belly chest and more spots showing under her belly.  She seems fine, well, maybe a little itchy. 

Team Billands next find was Lei Ola RH48 at a west side beach. She was chilling on the rocks tide coming in and surrounding her. Seems she likes this as she usually is found under these conditions. One wave turned her over, so she galumphed up to the dry rocks. She is nice and healthy but that dam hook has been there for a full year as of 9/22.  Hope she stays and finishes her molt in this area.
