Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:55 to 2:05 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.
Initially near the water on LPB was the Pregnant Adult Female: large adult size, older coat, unsure about tags, At first Marilyn only saw her back and wondered if there was a pup on her ventral side. There was not. Marilyn still believes this to be RB12 Sadie.
Near the 2BS was another pregnant adult female that Marilyn in 99% sure is RF34 Pua: large adult size, tan coat, female belly with popped nipples, two red tags and scar o her right rear side.
About 30 feet Makapuu of the 3BS was an Unknown Adult: adult size, and at least one red tag. Marilyn never saw the seal's ventral so it was reported as an U/A. She suspects this is an adult female that has been on island lately.
In yesterday's news, I forgot one of Team R&B's emails. They were on their way home when they came across RP30 Puka. He was on the rocks resting alone.
By the time they got back they check out Kahe and found two seals: RM31 Kai and R617.
They hung out for quite awhile hoping there more seals, but no others showed up.
Despite their checking all the usual spots there were no other seals found today.
When they rechecked Kahe only R617 remained.
