Dec 8 Honey Girl comes back to Haleiwa



Here's HoneyGirls tag


Here's HoneyGirls signature cleavage









Today, HoneyGirl came so far up the beach, if she got any further up the beach, Hawaiian Humane Society's policy is that I'd have to put her on a leash.

Found another Monk Lover in Haleiwa

check out this web site: http://www.turtlesandmoregallery.com/Gallery.php
Terry has interesting photo's on Monks, Turtles and other sea creatures. His gallery is located in Haleiwa across from the old post office now across from Stortos Deli and next to Grass Skirts.

Right Spot decides to take her day off at Sunset Beach





Right spot was being left alone while hundreds of visitors all over the beach gave her her space.


compare these belly dimples to the Monk on Nov. 26. Look familiar? I'll bet Nov 26 sighting was Right spot. Cannot be sure, but I'll bet it was.

KC decides to spend Thanksgiving 2008 at Alii Beach













After we set up our perimeter surroundings for KC's protection, 2 adults and 2 young boys walked through the perimeter carrying fishing poles. I approached them to ask them to go around the perimeter and not to disturb the monk. Instead of responding with aloha, they got in my face and defended that they were doing nothing wrong. I asked them to take the lead in showing respect to the animal but again they responded negatively. I called HPD to handle the situation. I also called DLNR to take over to handle what could have been a bad situation, but they left the area and went back to their picnic grounds. We did take pictures of them inside the perimeter and throwing a fish to the seal. DLNR is under its restrictions to only take action for three actions called Injure, take, kill. If someone injures a protected animal, if someone takes a protected animal or if someone kills a protected animal, then DLNR can act. There appears to be no legal action taken again an individual that harrasses a protected animal. This whole ordeal took 2 hours and then we finally left. We're on our way to another Monk up at Sunset Beach. This will be our next posting.



KC heads back into the ocean at around 4:15 plays on the shallow waters for about 10 minutes and gave everyone quite a show. I would guess that there were 100 people on the shore taking pictures of her. She would look up every minute or two, look at the crowd and then play a bit. She would come out of the water and make sure everyone was paying attention.




Then she takes off to deeper waters for a sea food dinner.

Nov 26 Sighting

This little lady was kinda difficult to identify. I'll see what the pros have to say about who she is!


Here's a shot of her left side. Her back is laying in the sand.



Here's a picture of her fins. I guess from the picture that most of you all can figure out that these are her rear fins.


And Here's a picture of her belly. She would not roll over and I could not see her right side or her back where most of the recordable scars are. There were no tags on her so we know it wasn't Honey Girl. My guess is it's either KC or right Spot. But I'm favoring calling this sighting Right Spot because of the dimples on her left side / belly area.
