05/07/2021 Friday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Melody and Team R&B💕.  

They arrived at their first stop the tide was low and there now seals spotted.  Then they heard a dog barking and when they checked it out there was RL20 Kalua heading to his spot on the rocks. He took his sweet time getting up and when he finally landed it was a good spot to get some rest.

On their next check he was gone and the tide was up. But on their

final check they found him again all the at the end of the camp. They tried to get closer but the dogs in the area were barking so they left the area.  As a side note the little green machine will be 2 Years Old on Saturday May 7th.  Happy Birth Kalua!

Next stop at another westside location they found Miss Kala RH76 snoozing alone on seal inlet once again. This makes day five she has been at this location. She looks good, no injuries or markers.  At about 7:45 Team R&B noticed fishing boat arriving. There was a seal out there and they were able to ID RN14 Kalani. He was helping himself to some fish.  Team R&B called the hotline and texted a couple of contacts. They had to leave for a bit and when they returned Kalani was still foraging and  stealing what he could. By 11:20 the boat was gone and they no longer saw RN14 Kalani.

Team R&B ended their day with a very pleasant note. They headed over to the bay and found two seals in different locations. The first seal took them some time to recognize but they finally saw his tags and it was RN44 male from Kauai born in 2013. He hadn't been seen here on Oahu for a bit.  The other surprise was finding little RM32 Kai on the rocks. Looked like he had just arrived or moved up because of the rising tide. He is looking green and adorable.  There was a group of people coming so they left the site to not disclose their location.

Melody went to visit Mom Kaiwi and P02 mid morning today. She was told they had spent the night by

the Natatorium wall and hauled back out on their side of the beach when they finished their early morning swim.  They spent time snoozing and nursing for the next three hours. Mom and pup went out for a few more swims and then did a little more snoozing and snacking.  The beach was busy with people and unleashed dogs.  Someone had mentioned earlier two off leash fogs went up to Mom and pup. There might be video on social media.
