01/12/2021 Tuesday Monk Seal Dailies

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

Team Billand got to the outfall and spotted two seals foraging then heading towards tracks. They noticed one seal had an applied bleach N13. Team Billand didn't recognize the number, so they called the hotline and told them of the seal.  Team though possibly it might be Sadie RB12/13. So they called Melina to come quick to see the unexpected guest. When volunteer Melina arrived she informed them it was Aukai who had been bleached yesterday alond with Ka'ale with N7.  Why someone on the hotline or a simple text from the organization to inform wasn't communicated is a shame. There at tracks was Aukai RL12 applied bleach N13, and Kaale RH32 bleached N7.

At another west side location they found Kekoa Alii RK72 in a water hole making his ID a challenge,

but Team Billand knew it was their boy.  R3CU was another ID challenge, and finally the buggah moved and they saw his tag. He is looking good.

Team Billand headed back to tracks to check on Aukai and Ka'ale. They were still in the same spot with one sign and no volunteer on site.  They also saw seal number 3 RN14 Kalani. 

After checking on tracks they headed over to the bay and found the lovely Lei Ola alone on the rocks. They also found RN44 sleeping alone on the rocks.   Interesting having had so many critters around over the last month and now there is just two.  As a side note Team Billand got to watch the military doing some maneuvers.
