May 31, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:45 am to 1:55 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.
Out on LPB near each other were weaner PO5 and weaner PO3. PO5 was identified by his light male belly. He seems larger than PO3. PO3 never showed her female belly or her tag.
PO4 was weaned overnight and was alone today on the beach between the 3BS and SRI. Marilyn was able to confirm that PO4 is a male. He moved around and appeared to vocalize several times.
At LPB were MO10 and her pup PO10 with a Sub-adult Female nearby.
Marilyn only saw one nursing session for MO10 & PO10. PO10 moved away from mom several time, but later moved back to mom. MO10 has at least one tag on her RRF.
Nearby was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, female belly. Marilyn did not see tags on the SF.
Out on RRB was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, female belly, no info on tags.

Team R&B's first and only find was the little skinny Molokai girl RU22. She was alone sleeping near the shore.  There were fishers to the right but not bothering her.
Team R&B are worried about this little one, this is not a good place to hang out, there are so many dogs in the area. Not to mention she so skinny and green.

They continued to search for seals but ended up spotting some dolphins. They spent three hours hanging out watching the dolphins
do what they do best. That was until two jet skis and two dolphin boats arrived, that was that the dolphins headed further out.

Lastly they saw some splashing and recognized the booby bird. It had a big fish. He was having a hard time swallowing it. He flew farther out with the fish, then landed and ate his catch.

May 30, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilynn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 2:13 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.
Again on LPB was weaner PO3, she moved around in a small area. PO3: weaner size, female belly and an Allflex tag on the RRF.
Down from the 1BS was weaner PO5: recent weaner size, light male belly, no tags. After the Adult Male left the three other seals near SRI, he visited with PO5 briefly.
RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 are still together. Initially they were at Middle Cliff area where they nursed and snoozed. At 1:15 pm, Marilyn realized that RK38 and PO4 had disappeared, a short time later they hauled out on the beach between the 3BS and SRI. Marilyn wonders how much longer RK38 will stay with the pup.
Initially near the SRI channel were an Adult Male and MO10 and PO10. MO10 has some scars on her right dorsal side. A short time later a Sub-adult Female hauled out behind the SRI channel. Then the AM went over to the SF. They then moved up very near to Mom and
pup. There was lots of moving around. At one point PO10 moved down to the AM near the SRI channel. The pup then returned to mom. The AM left the SRI channel area about 1 pm and briefly visited PO5 near the 1BS. The SF was sub-adult soze, light ventral with female belly, not sure about tags. The AM was large adult size, darker coat, male belly, at least one red tag.

Team R&B were surprised today checking out the west side. They spotted a male on the rocks near the zen area. They were overjoyed to see the handsome, RG28 Lefty. He does have a lot of scars but still
handsome being 11 years old. With the rising tide he moved higher up at the zen, where Kala usually hangs out. Aw, if he only knew she was hiding around the other side.

They didn't see her right way, but after a wave came in they spotted a very "fat hippo" in the water. It was RH76 Kala hiding from the boys. She just keeps getting bigger.

Lastly they got word of a seal on shore at plains. The seal had just hauled out, but by they time they got there the beach was filled with people. It was RT06 resting in a nice zone set up by the lifeguards. They truly are the best!  RT06 was snoozing by a sandcastle that some kid probably made, oh well at least RT06 gets to enjoy it.

May 29, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:20 to 2:28 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time. 
The big news was the birth of PO10!!!!
On the far back Lanikai side of LPB was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, female belly, not sure about tags.
On LPB up from the LPB channel was weaner PO3: weaner size, light female belly, Allflex tag on RRF.
Between the 1BS and the 2BS were RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4. RK38 is looking very thin. PO4 is looking bigger but still smaller than PO3 and PO5.

Weaner PO5 started out in the Middle Cliff area and entered the water twice as the tide rose. Then he disappeared and swam down and hauled out near the 1BS. He's weaner size and has a light male belly.
Up from the SRI channel were adult female MO10 and her new pup PO10. MO10 has at least one and probably two tags. PO10 seemed active but also slept for a considerable time. Both mom and pup seem fine.

Team R&B first find on the west side was little RU22. She was alone on shore. Someone from one of the agencies came out to observe. The little one hardly moved.  She is green and thin.
Then they found Miss Kala RH76 alone resting on the rocks near the seal inlet. Team R&B got word that she got an applied bleach of 7. She moved to much to get the N on her.

Later in the day after an appointment they went to plains, after getting a text earlier.
When they arrived there was RT06 on shore. There were kids sat right by the signs, eating and drinking soda. Team R&B watched and listened and one of the kids thought the seal might want a sandwich and then kicked sand. ugh! Thankfully mom came and they left the sight. 
Seems RT06 has put on some weight looking nice and plump..
