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

Marilyn had company today while viewing Rabbit Island. Diane joined her and they observed the island from 11:43 to 1:27 pm. There were seven seals seen during that time.

Again on LPB were MO3 and PO3. Marilyn thinks they had just hauled out from a swim when they started viewing and returned to the water when Marilyn and Diane were getting ready to leave.  Marilyn was unable to see an applied 3 bleach on PO3.

RF34 Pua and her pup PO5 were on the beach about 50 feet Makapuu direction from the 3BS. There were several nursing sessions and lots of snoozing. She did not see an applied 5 bleach on PO5.

About 100 feet Makapuu of 3BS was RK38 Hali'a/Lauloa. PO4 was hidden behind mom for almost the entire viewing session. They only saw PO4's head when the pup was nursing behind mom.

In the SRI surge channel was what Marilyn believes to be R430 formerly TempN25: sub-adult to adult size, mottled tan male belly, no tags and a shallow pit scar near the LFF.

Team R&B gor word there were two seals that hauled up at plains, but one took off. The smaller seal was on shore. By the time they made it out there, RT06 the smaller seal was still there. He was alert, kept looking behind him. Team R&B kept looking for another seal but nine came. They didn't stay.

They had their grand kids today, so they got back to the west side late.  There was one seal on the rocks, adult female. They think this is RL70 big girl! Her hind flippers were hidden by the rocks and they thought they saw her white nails.

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

Marilynn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:25 to 1:59 pm and there were five seals seen during that timee

Initially on the 1BS side of LPB were two seals:

Adult Male 1: large adult size, older coat, about 25% molted, male belly and two red tags.

Initially up on the edge of the berm was TempN25: sub-adult size, new coat, light male belly, no tags and a shallow pit scat at the base of LFF.

RQ44 Mahina started out between 1BS and 2BS. She left and relocated to LPB. RQ44: sub-adult size, new coat, medium gray female belly and three tags. When she moved to the middle of LPB, she seemed fascinated by a Wedge-tailed Shearwater chick/fledging that was on the beach. She moved clear around it.

At some point TempN25 joined RQ44, then they went into the water for a short time and were joined by AM1 and then they all hauled out again.

Near the SRI channel was Adult Male 2: small adult size, old brown coat with green, tannish-brown male belly and two red tags.

On the rock flat between SRI and RRB was a Juvenile Male: juvenile size, new coat, light male belly and two red tags.

Team R&B spotted Miss Lei Ola RH48 at pokai. She was very busy this morning foraging. Her beau R3CX Nalu was out there but he was very slow to catch up with her.  While observing Nalu, they could see that he couldn't catch up with her, His coat is really green, and he might be starting his molt.

From afar they saw a male haul out at tracks. They couldn't see any tags, and can't confirm its ID,

although they suspect it might be RL20.

Also they saw an adult seal foraging off tracks area, but couldn't make an ID. Unfortunately they weren't able to any decent photos.   

While heading to another location a man stopped them and kept pointing to the beach.  They pulled over and were happy to find a nice clean coated seal. Initially they thought the tag read 3u, but when they checked their photos a little closer, they realized it was RP30. Looks like the "O" resin is wearing done and looks like a "U".

Lastly late in the day they found two seals at Makaha. When they went to check it out they discovered Nalu R3CX and confirmed he is molting.

The other seal was an adult, green coat, two tags, but not easily readable due to the sand. They believe this is RW02 PvKauai.

September 8, 2025 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:00 to 3:00 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

Initially the only seal seen was out near the RRB channel. Unknown Juvenile: juvenile size, older coat, two red tags, not sure about sex. The U/J was gone at 1:52 pm.

Then at 2:26 pm, Marilyn believes the same U/J hauled out between SRI and RRB. A short time later a larger seal hauled out a short distance away and then galumphed over to the U/J.  Marilyn thinks the newcomer was TempN25: sub-adult to adult size, new coat, light male belly and no tags.

Team R&B arrived at Pokai and saw two seals resting together at the zen spot. They immediately knew on of them was RH76 Kala. The other was a male with tags, but not in a great position. Then they saw the two lines on top of his head and knew it was R3CX Nalu.  The crabs were running all over him, but he no care.

They also saw the boobie out fishing, diving in the water then flying around and diving again. They discovered their "original" boobie was on the wall by the fishermen.

Over at rest camp they could see two seals foraging. There was a small boat anchored out there catching plenty of fish.  They were able to ID RH48 Lei Ola foraging, but she stayed far out.  The other seal was an adult with a very green coat. They hung out for an hour but couldn't get much information on him.

Heading over to tracks they found two seals on shore. RL20 Kalua and R604 were resting together. 

A little bit later R604 entered the water and RL20 followed.  They

noted that RL20 has begun his molt. He came back to shore and stayed.

R604 went into the water looking for food. They saw she caught something with her mouth wide open. She was foraging for over 20 minutes then hauled out all the way to the west side.

And then there were the dolphins doing what they do best.
