June 16, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:37 to 2:42 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time. 

On the back of LPB were four seals, the three weaners and a sub-adult female, at the back near the cliff. The seals moved around some but all stayed in the same general location. The three weaners, RV50, RV68 and RV70 were all there. Marilyn thinks the smallest looking weaner is RV50. The sub-adult female has a yellow-tan female belly, not sure about tags.

Up from the SRI channel were RM26 Nohea and her pup PO10. The pup was some distance from mom, when Marilyn arrived, but soon after it moved close to mom. The pup has been packing on the pounds. PO10 is 4-weeks old today. Marilyn should be able to determine the pup's sex in the next week. The mom and pup were lasr seen at 2:21 pm.

At 2:34 pm, Marilyn believes RU38 hauled out of the RRB side of the SRI channel; she looks considerably larger than her juvenile size, old coat with lots of green and brown and two red tags.

Team R&B started on the west side. They spotted on big fat seal on the rocks. It was RH76 Miss Kala. Although they're always happy to see her, today they were not. She gotta get herself out of this area and somewhere safe like Rabbit Island to have this kid.

Next they headed out to see Rocky RH58 and PO11. When they arrived they were in the keiki pond exploring. Mom was always close by when the pup moved away, she got vocal.... and the pup would hurry back to mom again touching muzzles (kiss)

They saw lots of nursing today. There were lots of folks out since the story with location aired on the news. 

While they were onsite another seal passed by, they weren't able to ID and only got one photo.

After several feeds they went completely out of the zone and unfortunately no volunteer. There were folks from the community helping out.  Team R&B called the hotline. Mom and pup went into the rough water. Whenever Rocky lost sight of the pup she would call out and PO11 would pop up like a mini submarine and immediately head for mom. 

They finally landed and Rocky made sure the pup made it up. Such a good momma.
