Tammy went out to Ka'ena Point today with Lesley. They had a good day, seeing seals, whales and albatross, not to mention the albatross chicks have begun to hatch.
Their first seal was PvKauai RW02 on the rocks island. Near him on the coral was R330 Squinty. At the runway was RL47 Kamakana. Just when they thought it was going to be a boys day, they found two females down the way. There was Mohala RP24 and Luana RN58. The last seal they spotted today was R420 hauling out near RL47. Fun fact Kamakana and Mohala are both Rabbit Island seals! Along with everything else they saw a mockingbird with nesting material. (hopefully I labeled all the seals correctly)
Team R&B searched the area and was coming up empty. But then their first find were whales out not that far. There were some kayaks in the area. A calf was active and Team R&B were loving it. They finally got to see some breaching!
Then they spotted multiple seals at electric beach. The first to be ID'd was RP28 Wakea. He took off about 1:00 pm. The second to be ID'd was their big boy RH32 Kaale. They continued to watch from afar, and ID'd a third seal. It was RN14 Kalani.
Lastly they spotted a few more seals at Kahe. At first there were three seals all resting on the rocks.
There was RG32 who was with R416 Makakii. Left to them wasRL20 Kalani, he was on his own. Later on RS32 arrived and stayed to the right. They noted that RS32 might have a hook on her hind flipper.
