12/05/2020 Saturday Monk Seal Dailies

 

Team Billand found Kekoa Alii RK72 and RL20 Kalua together. Kekoa was on lower rocks along side of him was Kalua. Both snoozing away. Kekoa's molt is progressing.

Leina RL70 was sleeping inland to the right. She must of been there for a while she was very dry. She was also keeping herself away from the males.

Next was Kolohe RW22, he suddenly showed up. Thankfully his cue ball bleach mark made for an easy ID. RL20 Kalua was very interested in him and joined him in the playboy pond. Kolohe was annoyed and they both took off. Neither was seen again. 

Kekoa and Leina remained all day. She moved to a small pond later in the day and he moved to mid

high rocks.

At 10:40 Team Billand was at the bay and Mr, RN44 was to the left on the rocks snoozing and stayed there all during their visit.  

R3CX Nalu was foraging the entire time and never hauled out.

Ka'ale RH32 came up as they were watching over. His tags, natural bleach on neck and ding on right fore flipper were visible. He is a big boy.

Lei Ola RH48 was foraging and then suddenly hauled into the rocks by Kaale. He was aware she was there and didn't bother her. She stayed in the pond forever, then finally hauled up on the rocks to the right. She is looking quite beautiful and rather large.

Marilyn may have come across R407 ( male from Kauai) today. She did see his light natural bleach on left side, but could not see both. He has some scars on the right side of his face and left side of his neck with no tags. Waiting for confirmation that it was R407, which would be Marilyn's first visit with him.
