August 5. 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:13 to 2:41 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.
Near the LPB channel were RH76 Kala and PO13. The pup is looking huge and mom still looks healthy. There was not much activity from the two of them.
Behind waterfront rocks between the Middle Cliff and the 3BS was an Unknown Unknown probably sub-adult to adult size, new coat, no info on sex or tags.
Down from the 3BS was weaner RV52: weaner size, light female belly, at least two tags. She left about 1:54 pm and was not seen again.
On the rock flats on the Lanikai side of the SRI channel was a Sub-
adult Female: sub-adult size, partially molted, presumably female, no info on tags.
Out near the RRB channel was RV50: weaner size, female belly, no info on tags, applies N81 bleach.

Tammy was out at Ka'ena Point today and saw a variety of wild-life.
There were two seals one was ID'd as RG40 Holokai on the rocks. Then an Unknown did a swim by.
A couple of the albatross chicks have left, but the wedgie chicks are starting to hatch.
She saw two Kolea but wasn't fast enough to get a photo.

Team R&B were out searching for seals, while looking out over the water they kept seeing splashing.
After watching they could see way out were Eagle Rays...... very cool.
Next they saw the dolphins but they weren't as acrobatic as previous days. They split up, pod here and some there, very different behavior. 

They saw two seals out in the water, but were unable to get any IDs. Both were adult and one had red tags.

At another location they saw a green seal further away. They made the trek to get to the seal and were surprised to see RT06 Marvin. There he was alone on shore with no one bugging him. It's a good spot for him for now, no one around. 

They did a lot of walking today, and ended their day at yoks doing more walking. They were looking for RT98 where she was yesterday, but no wallows and no trails.
Then they spotted her with another seal way down..... more walking. They wanted to keep an eye on them. There was the lovely molting RT98 with her was RP30 Puka.  Someone put out three signs !! How nice.

August 4, 2024 Tuesdays Dailies

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

Their first find on the west side was RP28 Wakea. He was resting alone and is still hooked. They could see the shank part and the little line that was on the shank is gone. He appears to be okay.

They also saw an Adult Unknown with lots of green again. They couldn't make an ID and the photos didn't help. U/A was foraging off Kahe by the dolphin boats.

On their way to an appointment they made a quick stop at plains. There was RT06 Marvin, playing with a a small coconut, pushing it about. They checked and didn't see any sign of a molt yet.

On their way home they spotted a seal from afar. So of course they went  and checked it out. To their surprise this seal was molting and they ID'd RT98. There were lots of footprints around her,  but all was good while they were there.
They spotted on last seal on the rocks, they could see a tag but wasn't sure who it was. Then they noted the scar on right side, and the seal moved but went into the pond to cool off. They believe this is RL20 Kalua who is very green.
