February 9, 2025 Sunday's Dailies

Before I get into the dailies just want to note that the blog turns 17 years old today.

17 years - 10, 259  published post - Approximately 6,205 days -  Approximately 12,410 hours. 

Now if I could only commit to an exercise plan. 

Back to our regularly scheduled dailies brought to you by Team R&B💕  I can't even begin to think about how many hours they have logged and miles they have walked. 

Their morning started off slow in the seal department, but they did get to watch the dolphins.  As

always they do not disappoint and always look like they are having fun. 

Then finally they spotted a seal hauling up and there were plenty people out and about. They watched from a distance and they determined the seal looked like Nalu R3CX.

Then from afar they see two seals at Kahe, so they hurried over to check it out. When they got there they realized there were three seals. RN14 Kalani was with RL08. It appears RL08's cyst is oozing.

On another rock was RL20 Kalua. 

Then they looked over to check on Nalu and they were surprised to see another seal hauling up. It was a big male RH32 Kaale. Team R&B were happy to see a volunteer was on site with signs. 

At one point one of the boys left and then returned hauling higher up on shore.

Turning their attention back to Kahe they couldn't believe a fourth seal arrived. It looks to be a young (sub-adult) male with two cc scars under belly, no tags seen. They could not come up with an ID, so it was reported as an Unknown Sub-adult male.

Their last seal of the day was the royal lady Miss Aukai RL12. She was back on the other side of the fence at plains. She was resting comfortably in a zone provided for her by the wonderful lifeguards.

Team R&B was also entertained by an egret trying to catch a lizard.

Lastly they got to enjoy their other most favorite thing watching the whales. Today they shared their binoculars with tourists who were thrilled. There were so many whales out there, maybe 5 different pods, all spouting, head lunges, tails flying in the air.  What a wonderful experience!
