Back to our regularly scheduled dailies brought to you by Team R&B💕 and Melody's photos of today's birth (part 2 )

They checked first this this morning and waited for RL20 Kalua. Unfortunately they had to leave for 20 minutes and sure enough when they returned he was already up on the rocks snuggled in tight. He stayed in that one position the entire time.  They left the site and returned at 11:30 and he was gone.

At another west side location they found RH76 Kala on the rocks. It's been a while since they laid eyes on her, she is looking healthy body in good shape, no hooks or new injuries.  When they went back to recheck on her later in the day she was moving up with the rising tide.

After a couple of days of finding only one seal today they were happy to find the favorite trouble maker RH32 Kaale snoozing on the rocks alone. He is huge from all his fish stealing antics.  

After finding Kaale they went over to check the bay and there was Lei Ola RH48 moving up the beach with the rising tide. She is looking good and chubby. There were a few visitors in the are so Team R&B did their best to educate. Lei Ola remained on the rocks.
