About this record
- Supporting evidence
- Original dated field account: https://monksealmania.blogspot.com/2011/04/4-28-11-db-dailies.html?m=0 . The post is headed Thursday, April 28, 2011 and gives observation times and shore names. A forwarded mention of RK22 and a pup on Kauaʻi is not included because the account does not establish a separately dated Oʻahu encounter.
