Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:10 to 2:44 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

The two seals were about 20 feet apart on the Lanikai side of the 3BS:

The one closest to the Middle Cliff was a Juvenile Unknown: larger juvenile size, older coat, at least and probably two tags, lighter ventral, no info on sex. The JU may have a scar on the right side of the mouth.

Not far away, was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, light yellow female belly, not sure about tags.

Team R&B started their day at pokai. They found the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was alone in a small

pond resting.

They spotted a seal hauling up on shore at electric beach. They determined the seal was RN14 Kalani.

When they did a recheck later on in the day he was still there, along with some fans.

Team R&B made there way to white plains. They were happy to find Miss Aukai RL12. She was in a zone alone on shore. She was resting peacefully enjoying the sunshine.

Making their way back to Kahe they found an adult male. They have a hard time making an ID with this male, but thankfully they figured it out.  It was R617 on the rocks looking good. He's a handsome seal with hardly any markers, and no tags.

After a long day, they went to yoks. They didn't find any other seals, but the whales were out doing they're thing.  Along with the whales the surfers were enjoying the waves, which always amazing to watch.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:300 to 1:51 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

On the rock flat near the back of Middle Cliff was Juvenile Unknown 1: juvenile size, older coat with some green, no info on tags or sex.

On the 3BS side of Middle Cliff were two seals:

Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult size, light ventral, not sure about tags or sex

Adult Male: adult size, light sandy-covered male ventral at least one tag.

Between Middle Cliff and 3BS was Juvenile Unknown 2: juvenile size, light ventral, at least one and

probably two tags, unsure about sex.

Team R&B had a slow morning finding seals. Finally they found two seals in separate locations at electric beach. Wakea RP28 was near the jetty area. There were plenty folks around in the area.

Then they saw an Adult Male high up on shore near the parking area. The people that were around did their thing checking out the seal. The seal stayed high up on shore. They reported the seal as an Unknown Adult but think maybe it might be RN14.

Team R&B had appointments today. They made a quick stop by pokai and they noted that over the last couple of days crews were out surveying the Jetty. There is talk about repairs to the area. The jetty was damaged from the hurricane in 1992. Good news work will get done, bad news what the heck took so long.

While in the city they stopped and saw some Fairy Terns.  

After their appointment they made it out to electric beach. From afar they spotted a seal briefly onshore.

They did their best to get a photo for an ID, but folks got in the way and the seal left. They reported the seal as an Unknown Adult.

At pokai they were happy to see a seal resting in the zen area. It was their lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was alone and resting peacefully.

At yoks they saw the whales far out. Seeing the whales made for a perfect ending to the day.

They started their day at Pokau where they spotted a seal on the rocks. It was RG32 alone snoozing. At times and probably his position they could see his ribs. He was laying their quiet keeping to himself.

While onsite they saw a seal trying to go up on the seal inlet, but was having trouble. It was RH76 Kala having a hard time making it up. She went to the other inlet where RG32 was sleeping.

He knew she was coming, looked up checked her out and went back

to sleep. RH76 came up, all of her big beautiful body, looked over the rocks to check out RG32. He was snoozing so she finished her hauling up and then went to sleep.

They watched at the paratroopers were practicing. There was a ship out in the waters and a whale close by them.  As Team R&B were walking out they noticed a "rock" that wasn't there earlier. It was RU12, she was just hanging out doing okay. They noted there was no hook seen.

From afar they spotted a seal on shore at electric beach. It didn't take long for a fan to come along and take a couple of selfies.

At Kahe they were happy to find two seals. There was RM31 Kai and RL20 Kalua.

While watching some whales they were concerned about one of the whales off shore. Its behavior just didn't seem right. Team R&B have

been watching whales since 1982. They were concerned the whale might be injured or stuck on something. The whale tossed its fluke side ways over and over, not up and down. There seem to be a calf with it too. There was no breaching at all, just tossing of the fluke sideways. This has been reported to NOAA.
