Marilyn had actually viewed Rabbit Island yesterday, but after waiting for an hour there weren't any seals seen.
Today she viewed the island from 12:48 to 2:23 pm and there were two seal seen during that time.
Between 3BS and SRI were two seals near each other.
Juvenile Female: larger juvenile to small sub-adult size, light tan female belly and two red tags. She may have a scar near her right upper nipple, This is probably the same female, that was labeled as a sub-adult female on February 8th. Today with her next to an adult female, she seemed more juvenile size.
Near the J/F was an Adult Female: robust adult size, golden tan female belly and at least one and probably two red tags. She may have a scar on her lower lip. Marilyn suspects the A/F is pregnant but with a month or two to go.
There were two pairs of Masked Boobies on the outer rim of the crater. She is reasonably sure the MB1 pair is nesting and incubating an egg. She isn't sure about the MB2 pair.
Team R&B had a short day today. At one of the west side beaches they found RW02 PvKauai. He had just arrived on the rocks and was still hauling up further in. They couldn't stay but at least they were able to get an ID.
They made another stop where they found RM31 Kai alone resting on the edge of the rocks. They did get to see some whales too. Since they had an appointment their day was cut short.
