June 23, 2025 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:56 to 2:05 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.

When Marilyn first started viewing both mom-pup pairs were on different parts of LPB. 

In the middle of LPB was Kala RH76 and PO11. On the 1BS of LPB was RL12 Aukai and PO12.  Marilyn was hoping the moms would stay on separate beaches, making it easier to ID, but thankfully she did see RL12's tags.

When she first looked there was a seal on the back of the rock flats Lanikai of LPB. She labeled this seal as a Sub-adult Male. The SM was seen leaving the rock flats at 12:06 pm and three minutes later hauled out on the LPB and moved up and partially behind RH76 and PO11.  The S/M (labeled as an adult male yesterday): sub-adult size, older coat with brown male belly with some green and two red tags.

Kala RH76 and PO11 snoozed, nursed and the pup again headed to the water line alone, but then returned to mom.

Marilyn did not see much of PO12 because the pup was mostly behind RL12 Aukai. Pup and Mom seem fine.

An Unknown Unknown briefly showed up on the waterline near RL12 and PO12. Aukai vocalized. Marily believed the same U/U showed up on the back Lanikai side of LOB and moved its way toward the S/M, Kala and her pup. The U/U looks to be adult to sub-adult size with a new coat. Marilyn thought it might be RK37 Hali'a, but she never saw its ventral, left side or rear flippers.

Marilyn thinks she saw the two weaners hauling out from the SRI channel. Later she got some belly shots and believes both RU38 and RU24 were there. In some of the photos RU38 looked bigger than

RU24, but when they were measured their girth was almost identical.

Team R&B were out and about and coming up empty. They finally spotted two seals across at the rest camp area. Then they got a call from a friend letting them know she was with the two seals.

They headed over and found R3CX Nalu with RH92 Nalani. They were resting together, where a lifeguard had put up two signs with a rope.

Some leaves blew onto RH92 and she was not happy. She reacted by barking at poor R3CX Nalu. After over reacting they both settled back down.
