Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:23 to 1:26 and there were two seals seen during that time.
Initially near the SRI surge channel entrance was a Sub-adult Male: small sub-adult size, yellow male belly and two red tags. Later the SM moved up the cliff.
Far out on RRB was a Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult size, older coat, two red tags and no info on sex.
Team R&B started their day finding N45 aka Temp 402. He was alone and fast asleep. After about 45minutes went by on this windy day, they prepared the sticks to set up a zone. N45 woke up and something caught his attention. He scurried out on the sand. Much to Team R&B's surprise there was another seal sleeping up near the rocks. It was RU40 and the two of them stayed together for the day.
A volunteer came out for about an hour, no signs were put up, just the sticks Team R&B set up. At the end of the day the two were together until people had to walk by. TU40 wasn't happy, he scurried right and left, barking making his way to the water.
N45 stayed by the wall for the night.
After checking the area they found another seal. IT was RS32 , she was resting on shore. She was in the company of a little little turtle.
The only other sighting was a seal foraging off the outfall. They didn't have enough to go on for an ID so it was reported as an Unknown Adult.
