May 4,2019 Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, Lesley and our Pal Val.  As usual Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.

Despite their efforts on a stormy Saturday Team Billand only spotted two critters today and they were together.  Their morning started with heavy rains, strong blustery winds. Between the winds blowing debris as big as party tents through the air, there was also a car accident on Farrington Hwy.  AND they persisted, what dedication....!


Finally at a westside beach they spotted two seals on the lower rocks. It was Lei Ola RH48 and Ka'ale RH32. They were there together side by side for the day.  Now talk about a cute couple! But I will say if they have a kid together... all I can think is it will be destine for all kinds of trouble ( the good kine).

News of Kauai seals from out pal Val brought some very cute pictures of the PK2 and the weaner.  
Seems Val dealt with the rain while she headed out for her pup sitting session.  She did note that rainy days seem the seals are more active, and there aren't a lot of people out on the beaches.  
Four out of the five seals Val found today were part of Rocky's clan.  ( I guess as much as us Oahu folks say Rocky is from Oahu, it's clear her family lives on Kauai.)
RL08/09 or as we like to call him BamBam Square Pants entertained Val most of the day. First found himself a coconut husk and then decided to hang out with 7GM an older female to play with.  RL08 is still a large bodied boy and loves to swim on his back.  ( like a block of ice ).
RN44 ( his uncle, male born 2013) was nearby but did not interact with the kid.
The new pup PK2 is doing well and growing fast. He and his mom RK52 had long swim sessions and then a healthy snack. Apparently this boy is very vocal when hungry. At one point Val had a good laugh when Momma buried her head in the sand to tune him out. He also tried to find the milk nozzle on a nearby rock.
