Today's dailies are brought to you by Lesley, Marilyn and Team R&B💕 Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.
We also have an official update from NOAA regarding the status of RW22 Kolohe. Please click on the link to NOAA's website. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pacific-islands/endangered-species-conservation/hawaiian-monk-seal-updates
Team R&B watched three seals out foraging. There was Lei Ola RH28, R3CX Nalu and Aukai RL12. Nalu had landed later in the day. Aukai had been out there for hours, shes quite the fisher. She did land later in the day, and had lots of adoring fans. The Lifeguards put out four cones and two old signs.
They found their fat green boy Kaale RH32 on shore at tracks. He was snoozing away, they did not see any sign of his molting as of yet.
At another west side location they found RN14 snoozing on the rocks. Then they spotted RL42 Leia snoozing at a different spot. She was alone and enjoying the the warm sun.
Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:35 to 2:00 and there were a total of four seals on island today. Initially there were three seals on LPB.
Further up on LPB were two other seals: (AM) adult size, older coat with some green around rear flippers, male belly and one tag. Nearby was a (SAM) subadult size, newer coat, two tags and light male belly.
At 1:21 Marilyn noticed a small seal had hauled out on RRB and this was the best part of the day. Marilyn determined this to be PO1/RP24 aka Mohala, whom she has not seen for a while now. RP24 is Pua's pup born on island on 3/20/21. RP24 was ID'd by her juvenile size, two tags and nb on her LFF.
