May 7, 2025 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn had a busy seal day.  It started with finding TempN25 once again on the east side. He was ID'd by his small sub-adult size, N25 applied bleaches on his mid dorsal and front of his hind flippers, the scar as the rear base of his LFF, and mottled male belly. He looks healthy. 

Marilyn heard there had been seals in the Kaimana Beach area pretty often over the past 10 days. Since she was going into the city she decided to check it out.

When she arrived she saw RN14 Kalani was in the water near the Natatorium wall. He then hauled out and moved up to RK96 Kaiwi who was snoozing next to the wall.  RN14 Kalani was ID'd by his cue ball size natural bleach on his right side and male belly.

RK24 Bruno kept reappearing and seemed to want to haul out to his mom Kaiwi. RN14 was not letting RK24 anywhere near Kaiwi and would vocalize and charge at him whenever he came by. Marilyn was there from 11:30 to 12:10 and RK24 came by four times.. He would then swim away usually in the Ewa direction around the Natatorium.

On several of his passes he would come next to the shore and people would have to scurry out of the way and then he would swim away. 

Marilyn then spent from 2:48 to 4:07 pm viewing Rabbit Island.  She noted that it appears the majority of the sooty terns have left Rabbit Island. There were five seals seen on island today.

Again on LPB were MO3 and her pup PO3. They were mostly snoozing some distance from each other. PO3 headed for the water with mom watching, but then PO3 returned to mom to nurse.

On waterfront rocks about 60 feet Lanikai side of the SRI was RF34 Pua and her pup PO4. The pup was mostly hidden behind mom, just like the last two days. They seem to be just fine.

Near the SRI channel was an Unknown Adult seal: adult size, brown coat, unknown sex or if there were tags.

Team R&B started their morning at Pokai. They found the lovely Miss Kala RH76 alone on the rocks. She was resting peacefully.

They had their eye out looking for Nalu and just when they were ready to give up they spotted a seal passing by in the water. They lost sight of the seal and not sure which direction it headed. They walked back to where Kala was resting and much to their surprise was R3CX Nalu. Miss Kala wasn't exactly happy with his arrival, she whooped at

him. That didn't deter him and was happy to have found her and just kept hauling up near her. Then there was pure sweetness, both laying next to each other peacefully.

Next stop was at Kahe where they found three males resting on the rocks.  RP30 Puka was with RL20 Kalua. It appears RL20 has tossed the line and is not hooked, truly amazing.

To the right of Kalua was was RG28 Lefty.
