08/31/2020 Monday Stay-At-Home Monk Seal Dailies

 Critters seen on the west side of Oahu were:

Lefty RG28 was moving up on shore where folks normally go and have picnics.  There was another seal  just above him. This seal turned out to be RH32 Ka'ale who was higher up than RG28.  Both of them look like they are ready to molt.  One of the fishermen in the area mentioned Ka'ale had stolen a rather large papio earlier this morning.

Our beautiful Kawena RH36 was hauled out on the rocks. She was very cooperative by making her tags visible. She was alone.

At a different location R3CX Nalu was on the rocks. His tags, left sided scar on shoulder and natural bleach on his face were visible.  RN14 Kalani was next to Nalu and both were sleeping in peace. 

Last critter seen today was RF28 Paakea. He was at an entirely different location than all the others. He was resting on the rocks.  Later he moved down into a pond and was cooling off. His tags were visible as well as his natural bleach on left shoulder.
