On the west side once again they found Miss Kala RH76. She still hiding from the males, getting her rest. Nothing new to report on this lovely female seal from Rabbit Island.
At another west side location they found RN14 Kalani on the rocks. The boys certainly keep Team R&B on their toes. He started to vocalize so they weren't sure if there was another seal. No... just three people on the rocks to the right. RN14 took off and went around and was going to land again but there were people there. Last seen he was heading towards the outfall.
From afar they saw a big seal trying to haul up on shore at tracks. They thought this could be RN14 but couldn't be sure. Immediately a group of people went to check out the seal.
Next they headed over to plains. Upon arrival they saw a seal on shore with a nice zone set up. The seal is very green and they were able to ID R416 Makalii. He looks like he'll molt soon.
They got word from posse pal Carol that a seal hauled out on the west side. Off they went and found Kawika R407. He was alone, chilling high up on shore. It was nice there were no people around, and he could rest peacefully.
They got a disturbing video from a friend of a black pit bull going after a monk seal on shore. They immediately went down not knowing when the incidenthappened or who the seal was. In the video they could see the seal was newly molted, and not too big.
Upon arrival the seal on shore was RP28 Wakea. They went to the area where the dog approached the seal and saw the wallow high up on shore by the houses, then a seal trail going away from the homes. Seems RP28 traveled on shore for about 30 feet. They checked him out there was no blood, no teeth marks and he seemed relaxed. They believe the video was taken down. What sounded like a close call turned out to be okay.
Lastly they found a seal at cliffs. The seal was alone on the rocks resting. It was difficult to see, but it was an adult, newly molted no tags seen as the seal didn't move. They believe this could be RL42 Leia
