August 19, 2025 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:20 to 2:43 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

At the back Lanikai side of LPB was one of the recent weaners labeled as RU48: chubby weaner size and shape, did not see belly or tags.

At the back of LPB were two seals:

Adult Male: adult size, old coat with lots of green, male belly, no info on tags today. The AM moved into the depression at the back of LPB and was out of sight for much of my viewing session, but he showed up again near Marilyn's departure time.

Nearby was a recent weaner labeled RU64: chubby weaner size, two red tags and light male belly.

On a rock slab between 1BS and 2BS were two smaller seals:

RU24: older weaner size, newer coat, two red tags and male belly. RU24 moved around first galumphing in the 1BS direction, then into the water and later he hauled out on the 2BS side of the rock slab.

Near RU24 was a Juvenile Male: juvenile size, older coat with some green, two red tags and male belly.

At 1:27 pm, a Sub-Adult Female: hauled out in the middle of LPB.: smaller sub-adult size, new coat, light gray female belly and at least

one red tag.

At 2:27 pm, TempN25 hauled out to the Sf, he was sub-adult size, about 70% molted with a light to medium gray male belly and no tags.

At 1:29 pm, an Unknown Juvenile hauled out near SRI: larger juvenile size, older coat with golden, sand covered ventral, not sure of sex, two red tags.

Team R&B started their day watching some birds. Along with watching the seals, whales and dolphins they also look out for the

birds too.

They saw an awesome Iwa Bird flying overhead. The Kolea are back. They also saw a mocking bird and fairy tern.

On a west side beach they found the lovely Miss R604. It appears she has begun her molt, although she was quite sandy making it difficult to see how far along she is.

She had lots of fans that paid a visit. Team R&B had to ask some of them to move back.  Hopefully R604 will molt quickly and move

along.

Later they went back to check on R604 and she was heading back up by the bushes. 

Then they noticed a seal on shore from a distance. It was huge, and very green. They studied the seal and checked their photos. They couldn't determine who this was, might have been one of the seals seen foraging in the area the last few days. It was reported as an Unknown Adult.

Lastly they spotted a seal on shore at Makua. It was a male sleeping with a couple visits from adoring fans. They know it was a male, but couldn't see if it had tags, looking green and ready to molt. They reported it as an Unknown Male, but if they had to guess they thought maybe RM31.
