11/02/2021 Tuesday Monk Seal Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Lesley and Team R&B💕.  Lesley's Ka'ena update is part two of the dailies.

Team R&B checked the outfall and spotted three seals foraging. Seems these three been sticking together the last couple of days. There was RL12 Aukai, RN14 Kalani and RH32 Kaale. 
Kaale was foraging for a bit and then headed over to tracks.  Sadly he had an unfortunate encounter while hauled out on shore. Some dude was fishing right by Kaale. He approached the seal, kicked sand at him, yelled at and and then went to his campsite. Kaale stayed but was very alert.  Team R&B called the hotline and waited for a while. They had to leave for an appointment, but returned later. They found Kaale still on shore moving up from the water line. He galumphed way up due to the big surf.  

Team R&B went to check the bay and also found three seals foraging inside the bay. (of course different critters). RL20 Kalua, RH48 Lei Ola and R3CX Nalu were all there.  They also saw an adult seal with fresh cookie cutter bite, left side near its rear. They were unable to make an ID.  They only saw the wound once, so they aren't even sure if it was a fourth seal or one of the trio.
