2/1/21 Monday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand and our old buddy Gayle.  

Gayle shared some news today that she got to spend some time with N3 (weaner/juvenile) and a new girl in town R413. Seems there is a lot unknown about R413, what Gayle found out was she was first reported/sighted on Kauai last year. Other than that there is not much else, and we'll update as more is known.  R413 doesn't have any tags, a scar across her chest, a couple of cookie scars on her right side. Welcome to Oahu 413!  She was hanging out with little N3, who looks so teeny next to her.

Team Billand got to the outfall and watched the bosom buddies at play and foraging together. They can

be rowdy but they are pretty sweet as buddies.  The boys left the outfall and Kaale RH32 was first to land at tracks. Kalani RN14 landed farther away to the right of the bunker.  A dog came up to the beach and Kalani would leave.

Next stop was at the bay where Team Billand was treated to multiple whale breaches. How exciting to see!  They found RN44 sleeping on the rocks alone. They also found RL20 Kalua on front rocks snoozing too.  All and all a great day at the bay.

Lastly at another west side location they found RK72 Kekoa on lower rocks. Lefty RG28 was also on site to the right on the rocks sleeping.
