June 22, 2025 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:00 to 3:00 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.

Six of the seals were on various parts of LPB.

In the back Lanikai side of LPB up next to the cliff was one of the weaners: weaners size, shape and coloration. Marilyn never got a good view of the ventral so she couldn't determine which weaner, also she only saw one weaner today. 

RH76 Kala and PO11 started out on the Lanikai side of LPB and then moved back. Then PO11 headed toward the water with Kala following. They swam for a while and then hauled out and passed the Adult Female in the middle of the beach. Then PO11 nursed and went into snooze mode.

In the middle of LPB were two seals close together, an Adult Male and an Adult Female. The A/M was adult size, older coat, tannish-green male belly, not sure about tags. The AF was adult size, light yellow female belly, unsure about tags. The A/F and A/M looked up when Kala and PO11 were hauling out.

On the 1BS side of LPB was an Unknown Unknown U/U. Marilyn only got a rear view of this seal and in was on the downslope of a berm. It might be RK37 because she thought she saw a left side nb, but just isn't sure.

Between 1BS and 2BS were RL12 Aukai and PO12. The pup seemed to struggle with the steep slope of this part of the beach. The pup wandered a fair distance from mom, but then returned. At one point the pup kept playing with Aukai's LFF, which seem to irritate her.

Team R&B had another good seal day.  While out and about they saw

the research boat out on the water again and figured out they were tagging dolphins.  They had received an article from a friend that talked about the project of tagging the dolphins, that allow data to be collected for about two weeks.

Then they spotted two seals at rest camp side, they were hauling up. They went to check it out and found RH92 Nalani and R3CX Nalu resting in a zone that was set up by the lifeguards. 

They got a text from a friend of a seal hauled out at plains.  Of course they headed over and found the lovely Miss Lei Ola RH48. She is

looking so green but healthy. She was alone resting in a zone set up by the lifeguards.  

Their next find was at yoks where they spotted two seals on shore. The tide was coming in and hitting them while they were resting. They ID'd BG R303 and RH32 Kaale. 

It took them a while to confirm Kaale's ID, no tags, big boy and a light nb bleach on his right side by his fore flipper.  He is a big boy, and was very attentive to BG, who herself is gaining weight and getting

bigger.  There were 8 flags set up with only one sign that created a zone for them. Thanks to the lifeguards.

Lastly their final stop was at the cliffs. They found sweet RP30 Puka alone. He was resting in a small hole on the rocks. His tags were visible, thankfully.
