03/02/2021 Tuesday Monk Seal Dailies

 

Todays dailies are brought to you by Lesley, Team T&D and Team R&B💕.  Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.

Team T&D thought today was going to be a wash with stormy weather on Molokai, but the skies cleared and out they went. They hiked several miles to Llio Point and came up empty no seals. When they returned there was a seal about 75 yards from the place where they are staying. The seal was RBK2.  Noteworthy is that Team T&D saw 22 different seals over a five day period.  Ya Done Good Team T&D.

Team R&B💕 headed over to the outfall and was amazed how empty the area was, just on fisherman

and one seal, none other than RH32 Kaale.  He was moving slow and doing 5 min dives while foraging. He wasn't in his usual hunt mode, then again there was only one fisherman not a lot to steal.

From a distance they saw a second seal foraging outside of the outfall to the left. The seal was Kawika R407. He later came into the outfall. Then a third seal came in slowly and this turned out to be Kekoa RK72. Good to see these three boys after yesterday nail biting net saga. Eventually the trio disappeared from the outfall and never landed.

When Team R&B returned for a second check of the area they found Kawika R407 at a near by beach. He was on the rocks resting looking fat and happy.

Next stop for Team R&B was another westside beach. There they found Kala RH76 along side of RW02 PvKauai on lower rocks. RL70 Leina was mid high rocks chilling alone. Lefty RG28 was with Nalu R3CX at water front rocks. They were all in snooze mode resting peacefully.
