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

Team R&B started out on the west side. When they arrived they saw RL20 Kalua  hauling out. He was alone and went up to the zen area. 

They met up with some NOAA folks that work in the NWHI. They had a nice talk and spoke about KE18, RU40, Temp 402 and even KP2. 

They also got a look at a Heron that was out hunting for food.

Their next find was RG32. He was alone resting on the rocks.

While searching for more seals on the west side they got a text from posse pal Hiroko of as seal at plains.

She sent pictures and Team R&B were able to ID R407 Kawika. She confirmed his cc scar on his back.

Later when they had time they headed over to check it out. R407 was still there enjoying the sun. There was a frisbee near and then the kids toys floated into the seal zone. The dad went to retrieve the toys.

They headed back to the west side making a stop to check on the whale carcass. There were no sharks seen while they were there. They did see turtles. 

They stopped at other beaches and the turtles were landing for a moment and then returned to the water. One poor turtle has a tumor or wound between his back flippers. 

They also noted that Makaha beach got cleaned up by the community!!

On the last part of their journey they came across RM31 Kai.  He was  alone and resting peacefully..  They saw some movement on the reef so they went to check it out. It was a turtle going into a pond to hide.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:51 to 1:38 pm and there were three seals seen during that time. 

On LPB was an Adult Unknown: adult size, lighter ventral at least one tag and possible applied bleach on right side.

Between 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Unknown: juvenile size, lighter ventral, two red tags, no info in sex.

On the rock flats behind the SRI channel was a Sub-adult Unknown: smaller sub-adult size, older coat with lots of green, two red tags. If Marilyn had to guess she thought it was a male, but reported as an Unknown.

Team R&B started on the west side Their first find was Miss Kala RH76. She was alone resting at the zen area. 

They were looking out over the water and noticed something shiny on the surface. They realized it was another seal. They spotted the cc scar on his back. The seal came in to the seal inlet and came up. They were happy to see it was RG28 Lefty.  He slowly joined Kala at the zen.

So many people were out and about today, so Team R&B stuck around. There was a family yelling at Kala so she would do a trick.

Team R&B walked over and stayed by them and explained the seals were resting. They left the area so Team R&B left to search other areas.

Over at Kahe RG32 was seen. He was alone resting on the rocks.

They met up with a friend viewing the carcass, trying to see if they could spot a Tiger shark. They did see on a very large one. The water was murky so it was hard to see clearly. Then as they were scanning

the water when they saw big splashes and flippers flying. It was two seals fighting. They passed the carcass and kept going. They did not get an ID so they were both reported as Unknown Adults.

Team R&B got a text and photos of a big female at Plains. Their friend Hiroko was on site, so they texted back and told her that there are three females that have been hanging out there lately. Finally Hiroko sent a picture with a tags. It was KG89 Huaka'i.  

Team R&B finally made it to the site, just after Hiroko had to leave. Team R&B got to see that big beautiful seal on shore by the showers, Miss Huakao KG89.  One wonders if she will remain on Oahu to give birth..... only Huakai knows.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:58 to 3:26 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

When she started viewing there was only a single seal near the SRI channel. This seal is labeled Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult to small adult size, older coat, no info on sex or tags. This seal may have a shallow pit scar at the base of the LFF. If it does this might be TempN25.

At 2:07 a seal hauled out down from the 3BS. This seal is labeled as

Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, yellow female belly and two red tags.

Marilyn thinks there is one Masked Booby is nesting on the outer crater rim. She saw a few Wedge-tailed Shearwaters flying around. 

Team R&B started out on the west side. They searched the area for an hour and came up empty.  They saw a heron and when they were taking photos, they were surprised to see RM31 Kai appeared. He hauled up to his spot on the rocks and remained there all day.

They also saw a turtle on shore and aa mocking bird in the tree.

Next they headed over to kahe and the stench was awful. They were almost afraid to look,. The whale carcass is still there and the sharks were out feeding off of it.

They did see two seals on the rocks. It was RK72 Kekoa Alii and RG32 together to the left side.

To the right side was another seal who is huge. The seal turned out to be RN14 Kalani.

They decided to make their way over to plains. When they arrived they found the handsome R407 Kawika. He was alone today resting peacefully.  Wonder where all the girls have gone, hopefully somewhere safe to give birth.
