October 10, 2024 Thursday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Tammy and Team R&B💕

Tammy met up with Lesley and they went out to the point. When they arrived at they point they were skunked - no seals!  So they decided to hang out in hopes that a seal would haul out. Sure enought R420 Kaipo came swimming in and hauled out on some rocks. He is looking good in his new shiny coat.

While out there they saw a flock of 12 Kolea fly by. Tammy actually got a photo with eleven of them.

They also spotted Wedge Tailed Shearwater chicks growing their adult feathers.

On their way back found R407 Kawika who was on the rocks. They also found RT98 hauled out on a sandy/rocky beach.

Team R&B spent much of the morning looking for seals. They finally spotted two seals foraging way out. At times they thought they saw a smaller seal with a young face with red tags. They weren't able to get a good pic of the seal's tag.

The adult female was Lei Ola RH48 was with R3CX Nalu. 

Today there were lots of folks out in the water, jet skis, smaller sail boat with kids, all for the coral restoration. So the seals kept moving all around,  further out and then coming close and back out again.

At another west side location they saw a greenish seal up on the rocks. While they were taking its picture, they spotted a second seal hauling up next to the green seal.

The seal with the green coat appears to be starting his molt. They believe this is R617.

The smaller seal with a clean coat turned out to be RM31 Kai.
