August 30, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Starting their morning on the west side they found that Miss Kala RH76 continues to hide from the males. She was so well hidden they almost missed her.  
They spotted an adult seal foraging on the rest camp side. They waited but the seal didn't land.

Next they headed over to plains. According to Team R&B, apparently RT06 Marvin went on a fishing expo. But Uncle Kawika R407 was in his spot on shore. R407 was resting peacefully.

It took them a while to make their way back to the west side. They stopped at the outfall and they spotted two seals foraging. Because of the glare form the sun they weren't able to focus the camera to get an ID. So today it's just two Unknowns.
They did get to see some of the dolphins doing what they do best.

August 29, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:18 to 2:57 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.
In the middle of LPB were two seals:
Recent Weaner PO13: large weaner size, female belly and not tagged yet.
Weaner Male: weaner size, male belly and probably three tags. This could be RV68.
Down from the 3BS was an Adult Male: small adult size, male belly, no visible tags and about 20% molted.
Out on RRB was a Juvenile Female: juvenile to small sub-adult size, light female belly, at least two red tags.

Team R&B started on the west side their first find was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was well hidden and looking a little thin, but okay.
Also on the west side was Kai RM31 laying down on the hot rocks. He is looking healthy and handsome with a friendly crab on him.

Over by the outfall were two seals foraging. The bigger seal and the other was the mystery green seal. They were able to ID the bigger seal as Aukai RL12.  Both seals heading in the KoOlina direction.

Next stop was at plains, where they found RT06 Marvin. He was resting peacefully and is just one adorable little guy.

Heading back to the west side they decided to make a stop to see if
RS32 was around. And they were thrilled to find her again. She is a big girl, with a clean coat, perhaps she went through a molt recently.

Their next stop was at cliffs where they spotted two seals. Needless to say they were quite happy. The first one is a very green RP30, with his right side puka.
And then there was a newly molted Lei Ola RH48.
Then much to their surprise there was another seal. It was in the water bobbing up and down at all the inlets. They watched trying to get an
ID, the seal passed by RH48 and RP30 who were on the rocks. Then the seal went through a crevice and hauled out. It galumphed over the rocks. Finally Team R&B saw there were no tags, and a scar over the seals eye area, which gave them enough info to ID RG32.
They called it a day after this long hot walk.

August 28, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:09 to 2:15 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
Out on the rock flats on the Lanikai side of LPB was recent weaner PO13: large weaner size, female belly. no tags. Marilyn last saw her at 12:54 and then she disappeared.
About 20 feet Makapuu side of the 3BS was weaner RV50: weaner
size, light yellow female belly, three red tags and an applied N81 bleach. 
Initially between the 3BS and SRI channel were two seals:
Adult Male 1: small adult size, male belly, starting to molt (less than 10%), no tags seen.
Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, new coat, female belly and two red tags.
Initially alone next to the SRI channel was Adult Male 2: large adult size, male belly, two tags.
At 12:32 pm, Marilyn noticed the A/M 2 had disappeared and then saw that he had hauled out near the A/M 1 and S/F. The A/M 2 moved in on the S/F and ushered her into the water. The two moved along the shore in the water and later hauled out down form the 3BS and about 20 feet from RV50. The pair stayed together through the rest of Marilyn's viewing session.

Team R&B started on the west side and initially didn't see anything in the water or on the rocks. They went back over to the other side and
just waited, and sure enough there was movement. A seal was there scratching, they ID'd RH76 Kala.  There were people close by talking loud, then the chanters arrived. Kala was aware of everyone, but stayed put.

Next they headed over to plains. Way to the left side was a seal they ID'd as R407 Kawika. They noted it has been a long time since they have seen him.  Over to the right of R407 was RT06 Marvin. He was set up in his own zone.

Heading back to the west side they stopped at the outfall where there were two seals foraging. They were willing to give it another try to get an ID on the mystery green adult. No such luck today, the other seal they wondered if it was RL12 Aukai, since it had a clean coat.

At another west side location they spotted a seal as they were driving by. They stopped to check it out, the seal was alone restingcomfortably. They saw the tag S33, which was a big help. They checked with the posse and this was 3 year old female daughter of RJ58. They were amazed how big, long and healthy she is.
