October 30, 2019 (Part 2) Lesley's Ka'ena Update

Had a fun & busy morning around here.

In the seal world I also had some good finds

Starting by checking down the beach I found a beautiful 100% molted overnighted R303 BG back from the house I saw her entering the water and hours later on my way back from far I spotted her further down the beach. Probably looking for a place to rest without being bothered by those big waves.

At the point, from the cliff I saw a seal playing hippo, two checks with the zoom and IDed R330 Squinty by his NB on rear flipper and scar at the top of his head. He had spent all day alone at CE Pt yesterday.

On our way out, a rock started moving down to the water line at 10Mnts Beach. It was RR70 RIP M.60%. Poor fellow he doesn't look happy and is taking quite a while to molt.

With the rain we had the Chinese Violets are in bloom everywhere - although they are invasive they do give the park beautiful coloring with their white and purple flowers. The Hinahinas had a drop of morning dew that looks like diamond drops on them.

We saw the 2 Snow Geese flying around us and got our eyes tired trying to see what the Billands saw this morning but alas we didn't. Perhaps tomorrow.
