09/29/2020 Tuesday Monk Seal Dailies

 Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand.

Team Billand saw Kaale briefly in the outfall but they were on their way to another site. When they arrived at the outfall to check on Kaale he had left and heading to Tracks. Volunteer Melina was arriving as well. Kaale hauled out by the tree. They saw the line dangling, but he wasn't stressed, no chaking his head at all. NOAA's Mark Sullivan came out to check.  Team Billand got word later some of the line was cut and Mark did get a look and did not see any hooks. 

R407 Kawika was way off by the bunkers, different from where he had been the last couple of days. He was resting peacefully. There were dog tracks nearby, and then Team Billand saw three little dogs come charging out. These are the same dogs and dude from Electric Beach. Team Billand was able to deter the dogs but they kept coming back. Kawika just lay there.  When they did a recheck later in the day he was still there.

At noon Team Billand arrived at another location and found RL20 Kalua snoozing on left lower rocks.

He barely moved during their observation. They did see the line from the right corner of his mouth.

RL70 Leina was under a large rock in partial shade. Smart seal since it was so hot. Then she galumphed to her sand patch.

RW22 Kolohe was still at the site, sleeping in peace. He did not react to Leina at all.

At Makua Cliffs they looked at what they thought was a rock but it was too smooth. Sure enough it was a critter. They were thrilled to see RL42 Leia hidden away. She is looking good from what they could see of her.
