The past 2 weeks have been extremely busy with many non-planned events throwing aside my plans to get my reports for the blog back to daily.
Our cast of seals have been:
RL74 Kami, RL98 Lina, R3CU came by for 2 days (!), RJ40 'E'ena, R303 BG, RN58 Luana, RO40 Ka'ena and special guests and longtime no show RG40 Holokai and RH48 Lei Ola
.Needless to repeat that this whale season has been spectacular, with breaches, tails slaps, pectoral slaps and several competition pods. The calves are so fun to watch. Once they start breaching, they don't stop. Our friend Lorin used to call them "Gherkins" (small pickle). I adopted the nickname and make visitors laugh everytime I say it.

Unfortunately this "El Nina" year has been bad for or LAAL chicks. We lost many to the heat, some were lost during hatching, parents have to go further north to get food, chicks have been left alone for longer periods at vey young age. But the ones we have are fighters and are looking healthy and growing fast.
The BFAL have been seen daily, but mostly fluing around now. This week the frequent visitor was "our" male V541. More soon - Be Safe
