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

They searched all day for seals and were coming up empty. Not to mention it was very hot out on the beaches.  

They made the long walk out to where RT06 has been but he wasn't there, just trails wallows and lots of foot prints.

It wasn't until later in the day they headed west and finally spotted a seal. The seal was RT98 the two year old female.  She had her own pond, looked almost like a golf course. There were some signs and orange flags up.  RT98 is 100% molted and looking good in her new coat. She was alone and resting peacefully.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:29 to 2:42 pm and there were six seal seen during this time.

In middle of LPB was RH76 Kala and five week old PO13. The pup's ventral is lightening up but still unable to determine its sex. The pup is getting chubby. Marilyn only saw one nursing session.

Down from  the 3BS was a Weaner Female 1: weaner size, light female belly, at least two and possibly three tags.

Between the 3BS and SRI was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, newly molted, male belly and two red tags.

Out on RRB were two seals:

Adult Unknown: adult size, older brown coat, no info on sex or tags.

Sub-adult Unknown: subadult to adult size, new coat, sex unknown, two red tags.

Team R&B braved the heat. They only found one seal today out on the south west side. There was RT06 Marvin who has started his molt, only on his chest area.

They did find some other treasures in the area. a yellow fronted canary. And they were surprised to find Al's bench still there.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:11 to 2:18 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

RH76 Kala and PO13 hauled out some time shortly before 12:47 pm. They had no been on shore earlier. PO13 is getting really big, the pup will be five weeks old tomorrow. Marilyn couldn't judge Kala's condition because of her position.

Between Middle Cliff and the 3BS was a Weaner Male: weaner size,light male belly and at least two red tags.

Directly down from the 3BS was a Weaner Female: smaller weaner size, light female belly and probably three red tags.

Team R&B got a text from a friend of a seal at Makaha. They headed over and saw that signs were up. There in a zone was Lefty RG28. Been a little bit since we heard about him.

Since they were on the west side they went out to check the area earlier rather than later. At first there was nothing to see, but on their last stop they heard a woman say oh look another one. Team R&B only saw one seal and it was RL08 hauling up and there was another seal on shore R416 Makali'i.

RL08 approached R416 and sniffed at him, and they had some words between them. RL08 took off and they didn't see him again. But R416 stuck around.

At another west side location they were looking so they watched the

dolphins. Then all of a sudden, a green seal passed by, they heard it breathing. Turned out to be R3CX Nalu, he didn't land, but its good to see him back in the area.

On the southwest side they once again spotted RT06 Marvin from afar. He was alone resting on shore. They best guess is he is going to stay there to molt. They hope to get to him to see how his molt goes.

With the weekend its going to be packed with people. They just hop no vehicles drive down on the sand.

On the southwest side they were entertained by the dolphins. There was some excellent acrobatics going on today. Team R&B were  challenged in getting the pictures to show amazing it was. 

They had been searching for seals and were coming up empty. They waited around checking the water, and shoreline.

Then they saw one seal from afar. They drove down to the area and ID'd RT06 Marvin. They weren't able to get to the area where he was due to
the high surf. 

They drove a lot of miles today and finally at their last stop, they spotted two seals.

Hurrying over they could see by all the footprints people got pretty close to the seals. 

They were able to ID one male as R416 Makali'i

They were not familiar with the other male, and he didn't have tags. There were some scratches on the left side of face, two cc scars on his ventral side, greenish coat. Reported as an Unknown Male.
