09/30/2020 Wednesday Monk Seal Dailies

 

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand and Lesley. Lesley's Ka'ena update is part 2 of the dailies.

At 7:30 am Team Billand found RN14 Kalani in the little pond snoozing. He later moved to rocks and was still resting.  They could see there was another seal at another beach across the way.

They headed over to check it out and it was R407 Kawika. He was alone having a siesta. There were no signs of any molt.

At 7:45 am they found RH32 Kaale resting on shore peacefully. The surfers had their music on for all to

hear but it did not bother Kaale. They spent time carefully looking him over and they did not see any line or hooks. They called the hotline to inform.  At 9:12 he departed and headed for the outfall. A volunteer arrived and Team Billand updated them.

As predicted Kaale arrived at the outfall up to his usual antics. He was stealing fish and foraging. At one point he chased the lines, came up on the rocks and looked at the fisherman who was frantically reeling his akule fast.  Kaale was lost, and fisherman won!  Volunteer was on site and was in awe of the adventures of Kaale.  Kaale left the outfall at 10:25 and headed for a nearby beach.  He hauls out and was near RN14 Kalani (his old bosom buddy)

Team Billand headed over to another west side location at 11:45. There was RL20 Kalua was to the right of seal inlet. The waves finally got to him and he galumphed inland to sleep.

RW22 Kolohe was on left high rocks alone. Waves were washing over him until he gave up and dove into the water and headed over to RL70's spot. It was interesting to see his reaction when he spotted her snoozing. He galumphed up to her but stayed about four feet away, never bothering her. He did keep his eye on her the entire time.

RL70 Leina was already at her shaded large rock. When Kolohe saw her he went into the play boy pond near her and just watched. Leina galumphed to her sand patch and Kolohe followed, but ketp back and both just snoozed the rest of the visit.
