December 3, 2023 Sunday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:25 to 1:35 and there a total of nine seals seen during that time.

Initially alone between Middle Cliff and 3BS was an Adult Female: adult size, newer coat, light tan female belly with a jagged scar on her upper chest and two red tags.

She was joined by an Adult Male at about 12:15. Adult Male: adult size, newer coat, medium to dark gray male belly and two red tags.

Directly down from 3BS was RG32: adult size, about 60% molted with a medium gray male belly, no tags and a very ragged dorsal side.

Initially alone at SRI was a Female Weaner: weaner size, light yellow tab female belly with some green and two red tags.

At 12:05 three seals hauled out to the Female Weaner. They somewhat blocked views of each other.

Unknown Sub-adult: sub-adult to adult size, newer coat, lighter ventral size, but could not determine its sex or if there were tags.

Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, newer coat, light tan male belly and two red tags.

RP24 Mohala (RF34 Pua's 2021 Rabbit Island pup) : sub-adult size, light tan female belly, two red tags, NB on tip of LFF.  This was a nice surprise.

At 12:30, Marilyn realized a seal had hauled out to RRB (had not been there earlier). Juvenile Female: juvenile size, light tan female belly and two red tags.

The sooty terns seem to be on island for the duration now.
