4/29/2021 (part 2) Lesley's Ka'ena Update

 

Went out not knowing what I'd find after an all-night rain. Roads were like a hot knife on butter, but soon the sun and the wind did their trick, and all was good

In the seal world I saw RG28 Lefty who spent the day sleeping on a small patch of sand among some boulders

R3CX Nalu was sleeping on some outer reefs - where he has been hanging around all week

RO40 Ka'ena did a swim by but Nalu never woke up. He then went on and hauled out at another spot.

RW02 PVKauai hauled out mid-morning on a sandy beach and went into sleep mode very fast.

RN58 Luana who had been MIA for a while, showed up today and is looking beautiful.

Most of the LAAL chicks are already showing some white feathers on their chests.

Saw some Hinahina in bloom today some still were holding a diamond = a drop of rain. Naupakas are also in full bloom. and to wrap up the afternoon a whale was putting on a show tail slapping

More soon - Be Safe
