Posse Pal Justin T. saw three monk seal this morning at the same secluded spot as yesterday. RM26 Nohea, female born to RK96 Kaiwi on 4/6/2020. She was ID'd by her tags M26/M27.
RK24 Wawamalu/Bruno - Nohea's big brother born on 4/24/2018 ID'd by his tags K25/K24.
R7AF a male identified with applied bleach N2 and flipper tags 7AF and 7AG.
Team R&B arrived at a west side location and found two seals on lower rocks snoozingtogether peacefully. There was RM31 Kai and RL70 Leina hanging out together.
They were happy to see RM31 again since its been a while. They woke up and spent a little time fighting for the water hole.
Team R&B noted that Kai has a wound on his bottom lip left side. There was no hook or line seen. His behavior was normal in that he bugged Leina.
Their next stop they spotted RL08 on the rocks alone. The beach was packed and the parking lot was overflowing. Of course there were dogs running off leash, but thankfully RL08 was away from all the madness.
Last stop Team R&B had to work hard to get parking. The beach was loaded, kids, dogs, boogie boarders, swimmers and tents galore. Big party after party.
They found poor Lei Ola RH48 trying to hide in the rocks. She is a lovely seal especially with her new coat.
