Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:23 to 3:32 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

Among the water front rocks between the 1BS and 2BS was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, older coat, light yellow female belly and two red tags.

On the rock flats near SRI was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, light female belly, no info on tags.

Marilyn did see one of the juvenile Masked Boobies on the upper crater ridge and a Brown Booby in the water near Middle Cliff.

.

Team R&B's first find was RP30 Puka. He was alone hauled up on the rocks. He was very alert but there wasn't any other seals around.

They received a couple of text messages of two seals at plains. So they headed out to the area and found the lovely KG89 Huakai. She was in the company of a young male.  Huakai is getting really fat, soooo big. 

The male had two red tags, one read J01. He had a small ding on the right side of his head and a possible small scar on left eye. He looked as though he had just went through a molt and lost some weight, wrinkled up some. Team R&B did not recognize him. Hopefully they'll get some feedback as to who this male is.( "J" tags are from 2017).

Team R&B ran some errands in the area and while at Costco they got a call of a third seal at plains. When they were done they hurried over to check it out. The small male RJ01 was still there, but no KG89. To the left of the fence line was RL12 Aukai.

Yes they were out there today among the high winds that hit the island. 

They decided to head over to electric beach since there has been a lot of activity there. When they arrived there was only one seal up on shore RL08. 

Team R&B waited and educated all the tourist that came around. They flagged them again, especially since one group was overly excited by screaming as they came running to video them Thankfully Team R&B were able to stop them before they got too close.

They saw another seal swimming by, but it passed them heading in the direction of tacks.  The seal hauled out at tracks and they ID'd Kaale RH32 and he decided to stay put.

Now they spot a third seal hauling up. The seal was RN14 Kalani and he galumphed over to RL08. There were no fights just sleep.  There was a time when RN14 and RH32 were best buddies.

Much to their surprise seal number four arrived. This seal was much smaller compared to RN14 and RL08. They could see there is a hook and fishing line on its back, they didn't see anything around the mouth area. The little seal was ID'd as RP28 Wakea, and the hook isn't life

threatening. They did call it into the hotline.

Team R&B stayed for over three hours concerned someone would bother the seals. Unfortunately Team R&B had to head out. 

Next stop was at Kahe where they found two seals. They were on separate rocks. RS32 was to the left and RG32 was to the right snoozing.  The weather was crazy strong winds, choppy waters making for dangerous surf.  From afar they saw four men approaching the seals at electric beach.

So they weren't wrong about the seals getting bothered. The four men

went right up to the seals on shore looking at their faces and taking photos. The seals tossed their head in the air, flippers up and of course the guys loved it. Team R&B called the hotline and DLNR.

Lastly they headed further west. They found RW02 PvKauai on shore resting. There were people out and about but thankfully they were all respectful.

In yesterdays news department Marilyn trekked Ka'ena Point with two friends. They came across three seals at the Main Pool.

Just as they arrived a seal that had been on the rocks near the Main Pool entrance was washed off the rocks by a big wave and he then moved to the edge of the rubble beach between the two seals that were already there. The new arrival was R330 Squinty. He was ID'd by his male belly and 3CB tag.

The other two seals were:

RW02 PvKauai: adult male, medium gray male belly and at least one red tag.

The other seal was RG40 Holokai: adult male, gray male belly, natural bleach on inside of rear flipper.

The seal were partially hidden behind the rubble berm that had build up. There were lots of hikers visitng the point so they did lots of outreach and crowd control. Not too long before they left, the seals finally started moving in the shallows. There was a small amount of vocalization among the seals, but no major spats.

In todays news Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:35 to 2:15 pm. There was only one seal seen during her viewing session.

Initially out on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB was an Adult Male: adult size, medium gray male belly, no info on tags. At 1:26 pm Marilyn saw that the seal was no longer on the rock flats and she found and adult seal just outside the LPB surge channel. She assumes this is the same seal. He appeared to have a scar on his left rear side.

When Team R&B got to the area, they saw from afar two seals on shore at electric beach. The they saw there was another further up. 

One of the seals was RL08 and the other was RH32 Kaale. They know the third seal was a male but they couldn't make an ID.

Then they happen to look again from afar and now see a young green seal hauling up to the right of the three boys. It was RS32, as soon as she landed, the humans came up close and personal to get their photos. The place was packed at one point Team R&B counted at least 5 dogs running around.

Lastly they were thrilled about their next find. There was their boy RK72 Kakoa Alii to the left of the rocks.   RG32 was in the middle on a separate spot. To the right was the very handsome R416.
