I saw this Hawaiian Monk Seal resting at Upolu earlier this year. So what qualifies her for Becky’s Squares: Seven? (See more responses here.) Nothing obvious in the top photo, but let’s take a closer look. A couple of scars, one of which looks a bit like a 7, but probably not that.
Hmmm. Too hard to figure out how many whiskers we’ve got here.
Ah, here we go. The tag on the flipper is M37. This is a prime way for researchers to track seals around the islands. I posted a photo of her with an M36 tag, but this one would have been in the other tail flipper.

Mom watches over her seven piglets as they forage in the yard in front of the house. Mangoes are the big lure for them, but they’re currently in short supply. Last time I looked, I only saw one lonely mango up there. By the time the next crop comes around, mom will likely be shepherding a new batch of piglets.

Light standards tower over a work area, inside a gate at the Port of Kawaihae. The headline says what they make me think of.
