June 3, 2025 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:30 to 2:35 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.

Near each other on LPB were two seals:

Weaner PO4: weaner size, no tags, deduced as PO4, because Marilyn confirmed that the other weaner seen today was a male PO3.

Sub-adult Male: sub-adult to adult size, older coat, medium dark ventral with some green male belly and two tags.

At 1:21 pm, PO4 entered the LPB surge channel. The SM followed into the surge channel a few minutes later. About an hour later at 2:18 pm, and the SM hauled out alone.

About 50 feet on the Middle Cliff side of 3BS was PO3: weaner size, light male belly. He was initially doing the "snoopy pose" on the waterfront rocks.

At 2:31 pm, Marilyn became aware that a throw net fisherman had hauled out in his kayak which he had mostly hidden behind the SRI rocks. He then managed to walk by PO3 and scar him into the water

and he later walked behind the SM who did not respond to him.  Marilyn left a short time later.

Team R&B's first find was RH32 Kaale. He was hauled out and resting alone up at the zen area. He probably anticipating a female arrival soon.

They got a call from a friend of  seal on shore at plains. So of course they headed over and upon arrival they saw a female with a green coat. They saw her faded tag and were thrilled to see it was RH48 Lei Ola who has recently weaned her pup.  She is looking thinner but doing okay.

During their travels they saw dolphins doing what they do best.... having fun.  They also got a great picture of a fairy tern flying by with a fish in its mouth.

Back to their west side journey they came across a big male who was ID'd as R617. He was resting on the edge of the rocks. His N70 applied bleach was visible.

While onsite they spotted a seal hidden in the rocks. They spent over

30 minutes looking and finally they saw a cc scar, a line on back of its head and white nail. This leads them to believe this could be RG28 Lefty.

They kept watch over the hidden seal, when suddenly they see another seal bobbing up and down in the water. It was R617, who approached RG28. They argue, R617 moved away and RG28 slid into the water and they headed out.
