June 7, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

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

They started their day at the pup site and when they arrived the volunteer pointed out where mom and pup were, exploring in the water.

Around 10 am they hauled out by the old fenced area on the outside of the zone. They stayed for over 2 hours and Team R&B waited. 

Finally they awoke and entered the rough waters. PO11 stayed close to Momma Rocky, waves were pounding, very windy and strong

currents.  The winds blew down many of the signs, rubbish flying into the water, passed Mom and pup and beyond.

For the first time Mom took PO11 further out, but briefly landed on the rocks. Then they went back in the water and turned to go outward.  PO11 trying to stay with mom and being vocal. Mom blocked her from going out to sea with her body and then they swam in to explore.

Then a news crew showed up and this was the 3rd time in the last couple of days. 

Rocky decided to haul out by the driftwood, right where the news

crew were interviewing people. Rocky started barking and Team R&B looked to see if the volunteer was still on site, but she had left. So Team R&B took it upon themselves to move folks back, move the signs and ropes.

Rocky and PO11 had a nursing session. Team R&B secured the signs and then headed out. 

Team R&B stopped by plains after getting a text of seal haul out. When they got to the site there was RT06.  As they had mentioned the lifeguards want to name him Marvin, after a beloved Lifeguard that passed away. As Team R&B took a photo of a banner honoring Marvin a fairy tern flew by.

July 6, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:07 to 2:31 pm and there were nine seals seen during that time. Which made it difficult to keep track of all their identities.

Out on the LPB rock flats there were two seals. Whether it was the same two seals during her entire viewing session is an open question.

Weaner Unknown : weaner size seal with tags on the rock flats.

Juvenile Unknown: juvenile to sub-adult size, no info on tags or sex.

Early in Marilyn's viewing session  there were two small HMS on the Lanikai side of LPB:

RV50: weaner female, light female belly and three red tags.

Weaner Male: galumphed over to RV50 and then they both entered the LPB channel.

At 1:46 pm, a Sub-adult Unknown hauled out and moved up to the middle of the LPB: sub-adult size with two parallel scars on the right shoulder, no info on tags or sex.

RH76 Kala and PO13 were again on the 1BS side of LPB. Mom and pup moved around some and up the beach. Marilyn saw one nursing session later in her viewing. Both mom and pup seem to be doing

well.

Out between the 3BS and SRI channel was new weaner PO10: weaner size, dark upper coat, no tags, lighter ventral.

Later in Marilyn's viewing session, ultimately three young seals hauled out on LPB. Marilyn thinks two of these were RV50 and a  weaner male, the other is either a weaner or juvenile.

Team R&B were out at the pup site today. Their first thought was PO11 sure is growing fast. Upon arrival they were at the rocks

exploring. Then they came towards the trees and landed on shore for a nursing session and a snooze.

Later they moved to the rocks, PO11 moved 10 feet away from mom and she was not happy. She barked at the pup and bee lined it back to mom.

Then there was one ignorant guy with a big dog on a leash. Volunteer went to talk with him and told him no dogs on the beach for now. He replied "Really, I don't see any signs, so volunteer pointed to the signs to the left. The dude said it doesn't say no dogs. He went nuts and

gave them the finger, grabbed his balls along with lewd gestures. Someone saw what was happening and took some photos. Volunteer called the police and gave them his plate number. They sped off. When the police arrived  they took the information along with the photos. Sadly all the guy had to do was move over to the other side with his dog.

Team R&B left at 2:30 pm, they had been out there for a long time.  They were happy that the fishing poles and crowds were gone.

July 5, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:52 to 2:51 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.

There were ultimately four seals seen on the back Lanikai side of LPB. Some of the seals had been seen on the rock flats earlier, but it was difficult to keep the seals identified because of their constant changing positions.

Two seals moved on the beach initially: Juvenile Female and Weaner Male: Later two more seals moved onto the beach. The newcomers

were another Weaner Male and a Sub-adult Female.

At 2:15 pm, the most recent weaner PO10 hauled out to the middle of LPB and moved in the 1BS direction: weaner size, darker coat, no tags. Marilyn didn't get a good view of the ventral so sex is still undetermined.

Just Lanikai side of the 1BS on the shoreline were RH76 Kala and her pup PO13 who was born yesterday afternoon. Marilyn has not seen the pup nurse, but she is only viewing for two hour window of a 24 hour period. Pup moved around mom several times. She thinks part of

the umbilical cord is still attached to the pup. Both mom and pup seem fine.

About 30 feet Makapuu side of mom and pup was weaner female RV50. She moved up and down over the rocks several times. She is weaner size, light female belly and three red tags.

Team R&B arrived at the pup site and heard stories of last nights 4th of July with the mom and pup. They were worried about them with lots of the aerials going off.  Mom and PO11 were in the water doing a short swim, pup was mad and kept barking at mom. She went onto the rocks for a feed. Pup kept biting mom and was very vocal the whole time. Then Mom popped her head up with mouth wide opened like she was reacting to a bite from the kid "ouch". 

This kept going on, and Rocky finally entered the water and PO11 followed for a short swim.

There were fishing poles set up in this section and no signs were up.

Seals land, pup still being vocal to mom, maybe they were both nervous from all the over night fireworks.

Mom finally presented and pup settled and both fell asleep after an hour of nursing. Volunteer arrived and put out the signs and ropes, Team R&B thanked her. They need to be up. There are still fishers out there fishing and camping.

Two and a half hours later, Rocky entered the water with the pup for another swim. Pup still biting on Mom and Rocky gives the kid a slap. (omg) They hauled out on the fishers side again and had another feed. 

One of the news stations arrived and interviewed two ladies who were not the usual volunteers. By this time Team R&B were hot and could see Mom and pup were safely resting on shore, so they left.
