09/03/2021 Friday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Lesley and Team R&B๐Ÿ’•.   Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of today's dailies .

Team R&B started their day at tracks lot. There was on seal on shore and three signs put up by a good Samaritan. They picked up some sticks to add to the zone. There was Nalu R3CX who had just hauled out just after 7 am. They thanked the woman who had put up the signs.  Nalu kept looking at the ocean, but there wasn't anything out there.  Then there was a group of young girls (tourists) came by and walked passed the zone. The woman who had put up the signs, kindly asked them to leave the seal alone, she explained the seal came up to rest. Woooo Hoooo  we got another posse member!  

Team R&B went off to search the bay. They saw two seals one close to the end of the jetty and the other hung closer to the shore.  The little green seal out end the of the jetty was RL20 Kalua.  The seal closer in was Kaale RH32.  There was only one boat and a handful of fishers today.

Team R&B got a call from an old friend that a seal was at KoOlina. So they hurried over! There on shore to the right was the lovely RH92 Nalani (long time no see). They were thrilled to see her. Nalani is good condition, no new wounds, she is looking pretty.  They saw her facial scar on right side, scar on right fore flipper and red tag H93.  Security had put a zone up. Team R&B stayed for a while and then headed out. 

They headed back to the tracks to check on Nalu. When they arrived there was another seal near R3CX. It was R407 Kawika, no tags, scare on left eye, looking green. Both were in the make-shift zone. It was very nice they cooperated. 

Next they went back to the bay and there was Kaale RH32 still foraging on the outside with another seal, but it wasn't RL20. They kept watching and determined it looked like Benny RE74.  Now that was a surprise.  

At another location and their last find they spotted a seal among a lot of people on shore. It was RL42 Leia. She was aware of the people on shore passing her by.

Team R&B came across a couple of jack asses today..... one kine is cute the other not so cute.
