Comments: We encountered a group of three rays in Kaneohe Bay at the north end of the Sandbar. There was one large one approximately 10’ across and 2 smaller rays approx. 6-7 feet across. Willa Mae Ray was one of the smaller animals. The larger one left not long after I approached but the other two, smaller animals seemed comfortable with my presence. Named after my mother Willa Mae Babbitt.
