Diane was out at Ka'ena Point with Lesley today and they spotted six seals. Diane only sent photos of Squinty R330 and Aukai RL12. Lesley's complete report with the rest of the sightings is part two of the dailies.
Team Billand arrived at the outfall at 6:45 and stayed until 9 am. They saw lots of whales today and unfortunately missed a full body breach while watching the seals.
They spotted a U/U swimming in the outfall taking fish and then went out and was gone. They moved in and out too fast to make an ID.
Just before 10 am Team Billand arrived at a west side beach and spotted a seal to the left upper rocks. They were able to see the tag was broken before the seal scooted to a spot that was well hidden. Tey were able to ID Kekoa Alii RK72. He remained in the same spot all day.
Next critter they spotted was Nalu R3CX on lower rocks to the right. He was alone and enjoying the sun. His tags were showing and eventually moved to enter the shallow pond.
They spotted RG28 Lefty was to the right in the seal inlet. He was snoozing and Team Billand noticed he might have a new wound by his penis. (ouch!). He did not appear to be uncomfortable and remained in the same area all day.
Just before noon and after waiting little RL20 Kalua came in. He
approached slowly as if he was tired, but after few minutes of resting, he galumphed in. He ended up on the small patch of sand and went right to sleep.
Later afternoon, he galumphed to lower rocks, and seemed to be happy there was a seal bud Nalu was to the right. Kalua sped up and landed closer to Nalu and went to sleep again.
On their afternoon check there was one more critter to the right by RG28. They were able to ID RW02 PvKauai who was at the seal inlet.
All critters remained and were sleeping.
