September 27, 2025 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:35 to 2:42 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

In the Middle Cliff area was an Unknown Juvenile: juvenile size, tan-yellow belly, tow red tags. Marilyn couldn't decide if it was a male or female based on her view and photos.

Between 3BS and SRI were two seals:

Adult Female: smaller adult, yellowish-brown female belly, not sure about tags. She was next to an Adult Male:  large adult size, older

coat, male belly and at least one red tag. This seal may be starting to molt in the mid chest area, if so it's less than 5%.

At SRI was a Sun-adult Female: sub-adult to adult size, old coat with lots of green and two red tags.

At 2:08 pm, Marilyn became aware of a seal hauled out at the Makapuu end of RRB. This seal is labeled as an Unknown Weaner: weaner size, at least one tag, not sure about sex.  It moved up further near the cliff during Marilyn's viewing session.

There appeared to be some abandoned gear among the dunes between 1BS and 2BS. The gear included what looked like a cover for a surg

board, two towels, a metal water bottle and some other type of container. Marilyn never saw any people on or around the island during her viewing time.

Team R&B first stop at pokai where they found two seals together resting. There was RH76 Kalaz and RM31 Kai. The waves were covering most of the area, so they were able to stay in their spot all day.  Seems they once again had a lot of visitors.

Over at rest camp there were two seals foraging. Today was one of

those days where they stayed further out. They were able ID the duo as RH48 Lei Ola in the company of R3CX Nalu.  Since its the weekend there were also lots of people out and about.

Then out of nowhere a critter they referred to as Sargent Major appeared. Seeing him I can understand why they gave him that name.

At the outfall they spotted a huge bait ball and a very happy green seal. It was adult size in the middle of all the fish. They noticed he had a cc scar on his back which made them think it might be RL09. But they weren't sure so it was reported as an Unknown Adult.

While out checking out the different areas, Team R&B saw a pod of dolphins which they often do. Since they get to observe them they have been able to check for unique markers, usually with their fins.

So a couple they have named based on their unique fins; Half Fin, Hook, and Lumpfin.
