Team T&D was out at Ka'ena Point yesterday and came across three seals and lots of albatross. They first found Napua RK40 and PvKauai RW02. They were still together on their way out. Their other find was R330 Squinty. They did see a group of people stopping to take pictures of the seals, good news they were all at a respectful distance. How refreshing!
Team Billand started their morning at the outfall. There were multiple seals foraging and fighting. They first ID'd Benny RE74 was in the corner on the right of outfall, foraging alone. He kept to himself.
Next was Kaale RH32 he was all over the place, stealing and foraging. He spent his time chasing after
Then there was Aukai RL12 stayed in mid section to the left side. They witnessed her eating some fish. Her 2 dings on head and mid shoulders were visible.
Team Billand spent their time watching over multiple critters in the outfall. They ID'd RN14 Kalani chasing fish like crazy, at times bugging Aukai. They actually caught his tag and his cue ball right side bleach.
After two plus hours they found Kaale hauled out at Tracks and he was alone. There were a few folks around and they did their best to educate.
A little earlier they had found Lefty RG28 at another west side location. He was mid high rocks and alone. He was snoozing but looked like he had recently hauled up. On a recheck he was still there and alone.
Team Billand took a break and was back out at 1 pm. They headed over to the bay and found multiple
Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island today between 1 and 3 pm. There were ONLY three seals on island.
The other critter was about 30 feet left side of the 3BS. Unidentified juvenile size, yellowish female belly and two tags. (UJF) This female was to big to be one of the weaners and there was no applied bleach.
