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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:10 to 2:22 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Weaner PO3 was on LPB mostly snoozing. She was later visited by an Adult Female and followed the Adult Female into the water. Later returned alone and went back into snooze mode.

RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 were down from the 1BS. They entered the water shortly after Marilyn started viewing and did not haul out until 1:51 pm. Then they moved up the beach and PO4 snoozed.

Weaner PO5 was on the beach down from the 2BS. He moved around a lot but mostly snoozed.

When Marilyn started viewing there was an Adult Female near the SRI channel. She then disappeared and hauled out by the LPB channel and visited with weaner PO3. The AF returned to the water and PO3 followed. Then the AF hauled out alone between the 3BS and SRI and went into snooze mode. Marilyn believes the AF is pregnant, she has a dark coat and two red tags. Marilyn isn't sure who she is.

Team R&B started their day on the west side. Their first find was Miss Kala RH76.  She was alone and resting on the rocks.

While hanging out with Kala they spotted a seal approaching the area. The seal turned into the seal inlet looked, bobbing up and down and left. Then the seal went to another inlet looking around. Team R&B could tell he was pretty happy when he saw Kala.

He quickly hauled in, never taking his eyes off Kala. When he was next to her, she woke up, flipped up her hind flippers, whooping him.

He just toned down, relaxed next to her and they rested.

Team R&B did see the survey boat again near a pod of dolphins. They assume they're doing some type of study.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:31 to 2:19 pm and  there were four seals seen during that time.

First the news, PO5 (RF34's pup) is anow weaned! He was initially seen about midway between the 1BS and 2BS, but later he entered the water and moved in the direction of the 2BS and hauled out again. He wandered around for a while and seemed to be vocalizing (probably looking for mama) and then disappeared at 1:15 pm and Marilyn did not see him again.

Weaner PO3 was again on LPB above the LPB channel. She spent most of her time snoozing. Marilyn saw her roll over partially but she seemed to be in snooze mode.'

RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 hauled out near the 1BS at about 12:45 pm. They immediately went into nursing mode until PO$ finally started snoozing. PO4's Allflex tag was visible in a number of the photos.

Marilyn is still unsure of PO4's sex and did not see its ventral side today. She suspects it will be weaned soon.

Team R&B searched the west side. At one location they almost miss the seal, but luckily the seal did a flipper flex. Thankfully they saw it, and ID'd Miss Kala RH76. She was well hidden. When they went back later she was gone.

Next they stopped at kahe and found R416 sleeping in the pond where the seals hang out. Then he started rolling about when the tide came up. He galumphed over the rocks and left but this time he headed west towards the outfall area when they lost sight of him.

While on site they managed to capture a dragon fly in flight.

Team R&B didn't find anymore seals but they did stop at Makaha and checked out the surf. There were several surfers out there braving the pounding surf.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:27 to 1:58 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Behind the LPB channel was PO3 probably female, but still not sure. The weaned pup stayed in the same place during Marilyn's viewing session.

RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 were in the water during the first part of Marilyn's session. They hauled out about 12:56 pm midway between the 1BS and the 2BS. The pup then nursed and later went into snooze mode. Marilyn got a sideways view of the pup's coat getting lighter on the ventral, but couldn't determine its sex.

About 40 feet closer to the 2BS was RF34 Pua and her male pup PO5. They snoozed for a while and then the pup nursed. The pup later moved into the water, but returned a short time later and RF34 and PO5 went into snooze mode. PO5 appears to be larger than PO4.

Team R&B were on the west side when they spotted a seal foraging off the jetty. After about 45 minutes the seal came up to the rocks and hauled out. It was RL20 Kalua and both his bleaches were showing.

There were a lot of fish way out at sea, the birds were diving and flying about like crazy. 

Team R&B got word of a little seal at Nanakuli so they hurried over to see. The seal was RU22 and she was back on shore. She is looking skinny and so green. She moved around to cool down near the water. They suspect she will molt soon.

Their next stop was at Kahe where they spotted a seal in a pond. It was R416 alone and resting. Suddenly he left the pond, galumphed over the rocks and left the area. He was heading in the direction of KoOlina, and they thought "bet that bugga going to Paradise Cove".

Of course Team R&B headed over to KoOlina and luckily found parking. Got to the beach and there was one big seal on shore. No signs were up which is a real shame. It was Aukai RL12 with lots of fans close by taking photos. Team R&B advised them to give her space.

Then Team R&B spotted another seal coming in. It was that bugga R416, he hauled up with Aukai. Of course now the people all come running over. Again Team R&B asked them all to stop, and not to go near the seals. Team R&B got creative and gathered some sticks and found some rope. It worked and the people moved away. They took the time to educate people who were interested.
