April 12, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:11 to 1:04 pm and there is some exciting news. 

The big news of the day is that PO3 has arrived and unfortunately Marilyn couldn't ID mom, so she will be MO3 for now. PO3 seems healthy and active, moved around a lot, nursed or at least tried to nurse multiple times and did snooze for a while. Marilyn did look over MO3 to see if there were any markers. She thought maybe RK37 or RB12 Sadie who is predicted to give birth at the end of April. 

Almost directly down from the 3BS was a pregnant adult female that she is labeling RF34 Pua because of the distinctive scar on her right rear side. Marilyn thought the unknown adult she saw yesterday might be her based on the scar. But now she knows its a female she's more confident its RF34. 

Between the 3BS and SRI was another Adult Female who Marilyn suspects is also pregnant. This the AF with the lower neck/upper chest scar that she has previously reported. 

Looks like Rabbit Island will turn into a nursery soon.

Before Marilyn got to the pier she got a text from Gamma Gayle. There was a seal hauled out on one of the beaches so Marilyn checked it out. Gayle though the seal was R3CX: adult male, older coat, male belly and at least one tag showing an eroded 3C and partial X on the left rear flipper.  Apparently he's been in the area for at least a week. This is the first time Marilyn has seen him in this area. He usually west side or out at Ka'ena Point.

Team R&B searched the west side. They found Miss Kala RH76 at

her zen area. She was very alert, as there was a family close by searching for shells. Team R&B hung out for an hour keeping an eye out for Kala. The mom apologized for getting in the way. RH76 was very aware of them especially when the little one started throwing rocks, thankfully none hit Kala.

Team R&B did a re-check later in the day and Kala was gone.

Despite the rain Team R&B made their way to plains, especially after all the excitement from yesterday.

Today they found RT06 alone snoozing all day in a zone set up for him. They noted he had some gunk on his head.  (probably an exploded sea cucumber).

The only other seal was by the fence line. It was RP20, she was alone. They noted she also had some gunk on her side. Team R&B were aware that usually on rainy days the seals barely move.  They hung out for a couple of hours, but no other seals showed up.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:32 am to 1:48 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. The clouds were so low they covered the top third of Kojo Crater, Makapuu Overlook and Rabbit Island.

Against some of the rocks near the LPB surge channel was an Adult Female: chubby adult size, gray female belly, no info on tags.

Down from the 3BS was an Adult Unknown: chunky adult size, scar on right rear side, no info on tags or sex. This is possibly RF34 Pua who is predicted to give birth at the end of the month.

Initially up against the cliff at RRB was a Sub-adult Unknown 1: sub-adult size, older coat, mottled tan and brown belly, no info in sex or tags. SU1 appeared to be aware of a Red-Tailed Tropic Bird that landed nearby which seemed to cause the seal to move down onto the rubble beach .

Near the entrance to the RRB surge channel was Sub-adult Unknown 2: sub-adult size, light yellow belly, probably female, no info on tags.

There was a brown booby on the beach near the 1BS for the first hour. 

Team R&B searched the west side and didn't find any seals. They also mentioned the clouds covering the mountains. They decided to head over to plains and while they were on their way they got a text of two seals hauled out. Then there was another text of another seal and before they got to the site a final text saying there were five seals. Once they got there a sixth seal arrived.

The first seal they saw was RT06 alone by the fence line.

Next they came across two seals together in a zone set up for them. It was RP20 a little female hanging out R407.

In the next zone were two seals the lovely Miss Aukai RL12 in the company of RN!4 Kalani.

While checking them out they spotted a guy surfing with his dog..... how cute is that?

Team R&B went to grab some lunch and got another text of another

seal #6 hauling up.  They got back to the site and saw seal #6 was RG32 who made his way over to RL12 Aukai. He fought with RN14 who took off but didn't leave the area. RN14 moved on to RT06 and they both entered the water together. And that's when the fighting went on for a while.  Then RT06 hauled out by R407 and RP20 and the three of them settled in.  RN14 Kalani was on his own. He hauled out by the Ewa side of the fence line.

April 10, 2026 Friday's Dailies

Team R&B💕was ready for a day of searching, but the heavens opened up with a day of heavy rains. 

(mind you the island was on flash flood warning)  They took advantage of a minute clearing, so they went out. Then the rain came again, so they waited in the car.  It stopped again and they saw some chickens come into the area, so they went out to look at the beach. There was Miss Kala RH76. They didn't stay long, as they got some sad news about a family member. They said a prayer while with Kala and then it started raining again. They made it to the car and went home.  I just want to extend my deepest condolences to them.
