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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:58 am to 1:04 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Near the LPB channel and nearby beach, Marilyn believes to be the three weaners. Initially she saw PO4 and PO5. Later PO3 moved out of the channel and up onto the beach. They all seem to be doing fine. Marilyn saw a tag on PO3, not sure about the other two.

On the waterfront a short distance Makapuu from the 3BS was a Juvenile Unknown: larger juvenile size, not sure about sex, but probably female and at least one red tag.

MO10 and PO10 were hidden during Marilyn's early viewing but she ultimately saw them among waterfront rocks down from the 3BS. Later they moved up futher and PO10 nursed until Marilyn left.

Team R&B were out on the west side again and today they were thrilled to find RH76 Kala. She's back! She was hiding as she always does, keeping herself hidden from the boys.

They also got to enjoy the dolphins today. They weren't too active nor did they stay long. 

Team R&B got a text of a seal hauled up at plains. Of course they headed out. There near the cabins was RT06. He was alone today in a zone set up for him. He is really putting on weight since they first met him This is a good thing. 

That was it no more seals for Team R&B.

June 6, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

Well it doesn't happen often but there were no seals to report today.  

Marilyn did not go to the pier and Team R&B got skunked. 

They went and checked all their usual spots and didn't see any seals at all. Lots of people but no seals.

Seems the seals are busy checking out other parts of the island. Hopefully they'll be back to the west side.

Team R&B got word from their friend that there were no seals seen and was leaving. But eagle eyes Barb spotted a small seal hiding, and called out to her friend.  Hiding was RU12 and she is looking very green. They believe she'll probably molt soon.  When they did a check later in the day she was still there. 

Next they stopped at kahe pavilion and found the lovely Miss Aukai RL12. She was somewhat alert with all the divers and swimmers going out. The lifeguards put out signs, but some people just don't pay attention. There were some that were respectful of the signs and Aukai. 

After watching Aukai they went to watch the dolphins. There were a lot of them out today. They mostly kept their distance from the snorkelers who were trying to get close to them. Shame!

Team R&B went to check other spots but did not find anymore seals. But..... they did find the escaped goats pigging out on the grass.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:02 to 2:08 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Out on LPB near the LPB channel there was initially one small seal which Marilyn now thinks was a Juvenile, although she initially thought it was a recent weaner. Then one recent weaner did show up. At 1:30 pm two more recent weaners hauled out of the LPB surge channel. So there were four small seals, three recent weaner and a Unknown Juvenile. They ultimately moved somewhat apart from each other and went into snooze mode. 

A short distance Lanikai side from the 3BS wer MO10 and PO10. They initially were in the nearshore water and not until much later they hauled out to nurse down from the 3BS. Marilyn did see a

softball size natural bleach on the lower rear left side of MO10. PO10 had an extended nursing session.

A Sub-adult Female seal was nearshore between the 3BS and the SRI channel. Marilyn only saw this seal briefly. It was gone by 12:pm and not seen again. Marilyn thinks this is the same SF that was near the SRI channel on Wednesday.

Marilyn was heading up towards the north shore and decided to make a quick stop to check on Sadie RB12. Her pup PO9 who is four weeks old today and Marilyn thinks PO9 is a female.  She saw a nursing session and spoke with volunteer on site who was happy Sadie had given birth here rather than Rabbit Island. 

Team R&B did their regular search for seals on the west side. There were none, another slow quiet day.

Finally they spotted a big seal down the shoreline at yoks. They couldn't get to the area since its still closed off. They tried their best to get a good photo but the camera wasn't focusing and it was raining. So the seal was reported as an Unknown Adult.

The only other critters they saw today were the dolphins, which are always a joy to watch.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 2:27 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Near the LPB surge channel were three weaners. Marilyn did not see enough to be able to tell which weaner was which.

MO10 and PO10 were between the 3BS and SRI, closer to the former. Marilyn thinks MO10 has a lower rear left side natural bleach, so this might be RK37. Marilyn saw two nursing sessions by PO10. Mom and pup were hassled by an Adult Male who showed up at 1:50 pm.

After hassling the mom and pup he moved closer to the SRI channel where he hassled the Sub-adult Female and then back to hassle the mom and pup.

The SF was sub-adult size, female belly, two red tags and lots of green in her coat. She did not appreciate the attention of the Adult Male.

The AM was adult size, male belly and at least and probably two red tags. Marilyn thinks this is the same AM that has been around the last few days.

Out on the west side Team R&B had another slow day. At one location they were checking things out and looking around. They saw a green rock and thought they hadn't seen

that rock there before. Suddenly they see kids near the rock/seal.... it was a small seal. It took them a little bit to get to the area where the seal was. And it was hot out there today. They called some friends to come and help, unfortunately they weren't able to stay. Team R&B build a stick zone around RU22 the little girl from Molokai. They did their best to keep people away. They heard from the lifeguard that a seal was there, and they let him know they were on site. They asked if a lifeguard could put out some cones. Which they did. As Team R&B were leaving they saw DLNR had showed up. They weren't able to go back and called it a day.
