09/02/2021 Thursday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Melody, Team T&D, and Team R&B.💕

Team T&D hiked to the point today with Lesley.  Their first find was Lina RL98 on her beach. Her molt is coming along. Next critter was Kami RL74. While trying to ID Kami they noticed another seal near her hidden behind a rock. It was old man Benny RE74.  Tide was coming up and washing over Benny, he got up and left.

Once they hiked out to the point they found Kala RH76. Soon after Benny showed up and tried to get got to Kala. She ignored him and Benny left.  Their last find was Ka'ena RO40.

Team R&B were out early and initially did not find any critters at all.   Finally at another location they

saw a big rock that was really a seal.  They were able to ID RW22 Kolohe who was sleeping peacefully.  They couldn't get a good look at his snout to see if it's improved.  They couldn't stay so they made a quick zone out of sticks and found three signs to put out.  Team R&B talked to a curious man about Kolohe and he thanked them for all that they are trying to do.  I totally agree with him!  Team R&B had to cut their day short.

Meanwhile in yesterdays' news Melody sent an update from her day. She had met up with Team R&B on a west side beach where they saw Nalu R3CX and Lefty RG28. Nalu didn't stay long, but Melody captured him foraging and possibly picking up a tako on his way out. 

After Team R&B had to leave, she stayed to watch over Lefty. He got tired of the waves washing over him and eventually swam off.  He didn't go far he hauled out down a ways on the beach. 

Melody left after lunch and on her way home she got a call that Kaiwi RK96 was in Waikiki. So she went down to check on the girl. She stayed for a couple of hours and then headed out. Always nice seeing her, especially in her new coat.
