08/30/2021 Monday Monk Seal Dailies

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

Team R&B arrived at the bay to see Kalua RL20 foraging on his own. They could see the schools of fish all over the bay, guess there no need to steal. Then again there weren't that many fishers out there today. They also spotted RH32 Kaale foraging. Guess he filled up because he hauled out on the rocks later on and was snoozing.

Team R&B had an appointment so they didn't get to tracks until later.

They caught up with Melody who filled them in. They arrived to find RG28 scooting down to the water and leaving, going along the shoreline. Kawika R407 interfered with Lefty hauling out, Kawika was guarding Aukai RL12. Meantime Aukai was laying back enjoying the hot sun. Lefty kept moving along the shoreline until he disappeared. Kawika had Aukai all to himself. He was a gentleman made a move and Aukai really didn't react. They both laid side by side in peace.

Melody started her day by heading out at sunrise to see if she could find any critters on the west side. She arrived and found two seals who were snoozing about 6 feet apart. She was able to ID Aukai RL12 and Lefty RG28. She called the hotline to report. She stayed to watch the two when another seal decided to join them. It was a male and Lefty wasn't happy, the two got into a dispute. By the end, Lefty went in the water and swam off. (Enter Team R&B) They helped Melody ID R407 Kawika the other male.

Kawika slowly came in and gradually made his move toward Aukai who let him get close and snooze

next to her. Apparently he got a little closer and Aukai had a change of heart and the drama began. They had words and Kawika swam off. Aukai stayed and slept soundly on her own. No one was around to bother her so Melody headed out.

When Melody arrived at her car she noticed signs up at the other end of the beach. She went to check it out and Kawika R407 had relocated there. Melody spent time talking with folks about the seal and she noticed RG28 Lefty swam in and once again there were words between him and Kawika. RG28 left and then made his way back down the beach where he began his day. He joined Aukai again, hopefully they were able to rest without any additional drama. It was after lunch so Melody left for the day.
