11/04/2020 Wednesday Monk Seal Dailies

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

Team Billand did an early check looking for Benny but they did not see him today. They headed over to the bay and stayed from 7:30 to 11:30. They first spotted Nalu R3CX foragaing and fighting a lot with Lei Ola RH48 and RL20 Kalua. The seals didn't seem to mind the dinghy out there, they kept fighting right by them.  (Boy those folks got quite a show). On their afternoon check Nalu was on the rocks snoozing. 

Lei Ola RH48 was quite busy, swimming with Nalu and RL20 during their observation. There was a lot of splashing going on. Kalua RL20 was also busy swimming and moving about a lot. Team Billand managed to get some good shots of him today.

After they left the bay they headed over to another west side location and found RL70 Leina. She had the place to herself these days and still tucks herself away so she is hidden. She is looking healthy, no new markers or anything out of the ordinary. 

After checking on Leina they headed off to the next location. They found RN14 Kalani on the beach. They saw him from afar and by the time they got closer there were folks getting close for a photo. They rechecked on him later and he was still there and people were being more respectable.


At 12:30 they arrived at another location and found Kekoa RK72 snoozing on the rocks alone. His signature scar was visible. He is looking pretty hefty these days.

Team Billand headed back to the bay to check on the critters and they were thrilled to find fat boy Kaale RH32 hauled out on the rocks, stretched out snoozing and snoring. His hook scar left corner of his mouth was visible.  Nalu was to his right snoozing on the rocks and Miss Lei Ola was still foraging.

Tammy did Ka'ena Point today with Lesley. Their first find was BG R303, showing off her beautiful new molted belly. Next they found RL98 Lina, who was sleeping next to a fire pit. Their last find was Kami RL74 hidden in some rocks.
