07/01/2021 Thursday Monk Seal Dailies

 Today's dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕.   See Marilyn's Rabbit Island update in part two of the dailies.

They arrived at the bay very early being it was still kind of dark. They wanted to see what RL20 Kalua was up to this early. Once again he was busy foraging going all over the place. He got something big near the jetty, big enough he had to put up a fight. He went out further by a sailboat, and unfortunately that was the last they saw of him.

After losing sight of Kalua they headed over to the outfall and there was Mr Kaale RH32 foraging in the outfall. He was very busy, chasing fish, a small school was in the area. The fishermen weren't so luck they fish weren't biting for them. Only Kaale was the lucky one catching his own fish and not stealing from the fishermen.

Team R&B checked several locations looking for seals, at one location they stopped to watch the dolphins.  They has a conversation with a lifeguard, who asked if they saw the two seals? He gave them the information and they left to go check it out.

They were shocked and thrilled to find and ID the male RK72 Kekoa Alii. The female was Auakai RL12, looking a little thin and green. Other than her thin weaning weight she looks fine. Kekoa made an advance and she let him know to back off ! He is a gentleman and did back off and slept near her the entire visit. 

Team R&B stayed over an hour and talked with the people that were around. They called the hotline and waited, but no one arrived so they left. Both seal were still on shore sleeping  when they left. If they had signs they would have posted a few.
