10/19/2022 Wednesday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Melody, Team T&D, Marilyn and Team R&B💕

In yesterdays news Team T&D are on the Big Island. They are taking in the sites and managed to find a seal. Their first find during their vacation was Waimanu RW34.  She is a BIG girl, and no she is not pregnant just a very big girl. 

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 2:05 to 3:05 and there was only two seals during her observations.

Between middle cliff and 3BS was an Unknown Juvenile U/J: juvenile size, newer coat, unsure about sex or tags.

On the Makapuu side of RRB there was an Unknown Subadult U/S: subadult size, newer coat, Marilyn

never saw the ventral side or the rear flippers.

Melody got a text from a friend on Tuesday evening that Rocky RH58 was hauled out on a westside beach. So at dawn she headed over and luckily Rocky was still there inside a SRA that had been set up. Melody confirmed Rocky's ID, and could see her NB on her LFF. Melody found a place to sit and spent the next three hours hanging out with Rocky. She is about 90% molted. She snoozed for a while and then started to make her way to the water. She laid in the shallows for a couple of hours, either to cool off or to wash away the hanging pieces of fur. 

When she was ready to leave it only took her a minute to turn over and swim out. She looks well and was foraging for breakfast on her way out.  She has put on weight since the last time Melody saw her, good to know she's healthy and doing good.

TeaM R&B had another slow day. They went to the bay and stayed waiting around. They watched the water around the area to see if they could see any critters out there. As they were walking out they heard "plop plop"   There was Kala RH76 up on the rocks. She is looking nice and healthy.

The only other seal they saw today was at the same site. They heard it on the rocks so they back tracked and found RL20 Kalua. He has started his molt and is at about 10%. He looks like a Ninja.

Kala was cute, like being a little tease with her sassy eyes. She kept getting closer to him, feeling comfortable that he wouldn't do anything in his condition. Smart Seal.
