August 10, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:51 to 3:24 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.

RH76 Kala and her pup PO13 hauled out on LPB about 12:58 pm. The pup nursed for and extended period of tome and then went into snooze mode. Marilyn is reasonably sure PO13 is a female. RH76 is looking much thinner, and will probably wean the pup over the upcoming weekend.

Between the Middle Cliff and the 3BS was an Adult Female that is a newly molted RK38: adult size, gray female belly at least one red tag, and scar on her lower neck/upper chest. She weaned her pup between 5/30-5/31, so her molt timing is good.

Down from the 3BS was a female weaner believed to be RV50: weaner size, light female belly and 4 red tags. She has been seen frequently in this general location.

Between the 3BS and SRI were two adult seals:

R7AF: adult size, older dark coat, male belly, at least one red tag and N61 applied bleach.

Adult Female 1: small adult size, old coat with some green, female belly and two red tags.

Near the SRI channel was a Weaner Male: recent weaner size,  light male belly, and just to red tags (maybe RV70)

Team R&B received a text from a friend so they headed off to paradise cove. They usually don't go there anymore because its so crazy.

When they arrived there were two seals, one landed on the rocks and other still in the water eating a fish.

The hauled out seal was RL12 Aukai and the one in the water was RP28 Wakea. All the visitors were too close to the seals.  They did their best calling out to folks to give the seals some space to come up on shore.  They were getting really frustrated. They stood by one man who just wouldn't listen. They even tried gesturing to him to move.

Seem Aukai created the interest by coming to shore. Team R&B told the tourist to back up and the seals will come in. RP28 got close to the man with the cell phone in the water, they explained the seals have big

teeth.  Their friend brought some signs and they placed them.

After an hour they left the site. On their way out they saw Auntie Nettie! It's been a while and she is looking good. Thanks to Auntie who keeps any eye out in the area.

Next stop was at plains and they were thrilled to find RT06 Marvin by the broken tower. RT06 is about 50% molted and under the watchful eye of the lifeguards. 

As they were driving to the west side they saw lots and lots of dolphins, of course they pulled over to watch They were way out jumping out of the water, sometimes there were be ten of them jumping together.   They estimate close to a hundred dolphins were far out and nearby.

August 9, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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.

August 7, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

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.
