04/29/2021 Thursday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Lesley, Team R&B and an Kaiwi update from Melody.  Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.

Team R&B's plan was to arrive early and sit and wait for RL20 Kalua. They were surprised when after 15 minutes out came a little green seal passing them in the shallows. It was RL20 Kalua. He swam over to his rock, climbed up on rocks and tried to hang in there but the waters were rough. He swam around, came up on the rocks again but the same thing the waves washed him off.  A dog came over to them and just hung out and a woman from the camp that Team Billand knew came over very happy to see them. While they were chatting Team R&B lost sight of little RL20. They never spotted him again after multiple checks.

Team R&B did multiple checks before finding another seal. Finally they found RH76 Kala snoozing on her side. The waves were slapping over her and a little crab friend was hanging out with her. That was it for Team R&B💕

In yesterdays'  Kaiwi and P02 news Melody sent some photos and a video. She arrived at the site about 9 am and since Wednesday was overcast there weren't too many people on the beach. Initially Mom and pup were in snooze mode for a couple of hours and then about 11 am P02 got antsy which delighted those who were there. P02 was galumphing circles around Mom working up an appetite. After a couple of nursing sessions they headed down to the beach and went for a swim session in the shallows.  After their swim they headed back up the beach and went to sleep. The rains came so Melody left to take care of some business.

Melody didn't make it down to see Kaiwi and P02 but she did receive a couple of photos from her friend Sandra who was in the company of Miss Rocky. Good to see the old girl around on the island again.
