April 2, 2025 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:00 to 2:20 pm and there was one seal seen during that time.  Todays winds made it difficult to hold the scope and camera steady.

Just as she was setting up she spotted a juvenile to small sub-adult seal enter the water from the rocks flats on the Lanikai side of SRI. Then at 1:19, she noticed a seal about 1/3 of the way between 1BS and 2BS. This may be the same seal. Marilyn labeled the seal as an Unknown Juvenile: juvenile size, at least two red tags, no info on sex because the seal hardly changed position.

Team R&B headed out early to search for seals and made it to pokai. Once they left there they gor stuck in traffic for over three hours due to an awful car accident involving a police vehicle. 

They got to the area later and found three seals resting.

RP30 Puka was well hidden in the rocks, with his tag visible. RG28 Lefty was in the pond snoozing. Then there was RM31 Kai positioned in the rocks.

While they were watching them they heard a seal, barking, snorting

and moaning. They saw the seal but it was in the water, came close in and then flew out of the area going from rock to rock formation heading in the direction of KoOlina. 

They saw a fishing line, coming from the left corner of its mouth. They thought they saw the swivel at his mouth, but not positive. They were not able to make an ID, they couldn't tell much other than the seal was upset.
