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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:50 to 3:06 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.

On LPB were the two weaners:

RV76: large weaner size, female belly and two red tags.

RV50: small weaner size,  female belly and three red tags.

Down from the 3BS was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green and two red tags. The SF later entered the water and after a short while hauled out between the 3BS and SRI.

About 40 feet further towards the SRI was a Sub-Adult Female: sub-adult too adult size, old coat with some green, female belly unsure about tags.

At 1:58 pm an Adult Female joined the SF. The AF was adult size, new coat female belly, unsure about tags.

At 2:26 pm, a Sub-adult Male joined the SF and AF: the SM then re-entered the water, but hauled out again later. The SM had a new coat, gray male belly, not sure about tags.

Team R&B started on the west side. It took them a while but they finally found Kala RH76 with RG32. The two of them were so well hidden. At one point RG32 tried to get closer to Kala and she gave him a whack in the face with her hind flippers..... he settled.

Foraging over by the rest camp side was a smaller seal. People around saw the little seal, it kept going up and down the shore, but never hauled out. They couldn't make an ID so it was reported as an Unknown Sub-adult.

At kahe they spotted something moving on the rocks. There was RP28 Wakea being cute. He has a scar on his "ankle" area, which helps with his ID, also the cc scar on his belly.

Next stop they spotted RP30 Puka in the same area. He is molting, but they were unable to tell how

much because of his position.

Lastly they stopped at Makaha to check the area. The storm has made this beach bigger and there is more sand. The whole right of way is full of sand. The Kona low changed an area, brought 5 foot tall rocks. Then hurricane Lowell took all those rocks away. There were no seals there today BUT the turtles were grazing, so Team R&B stayed and watched.

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

Team R&B started their day searching the west side. They were happy and surprised to find two seals together resting. No problems noted while they were there. The female was RH76 Kala.  The male had no tags visible, but they saw a scar on his head, they believe this is RG32.

Over at the rest camp side they saw another two seals. One came towards them, it had a clean coat, adult size, and tags are unknown.

They believe this is Lei Ola RH48. She disappeared and they didn't see her again.

Then another seal was in speed mode and just kept going, guess he is chasing her. He was an adult, assuming male based on behavior. He went straight out. He was reported as an Adult Unknown Male.

At Kahe they studied the water forever and didn't see any seals at the outfall area. Then they spotted a seal just coming up onto the rocks, looking green. It was RP28 Wakea.

Earlier they did hear from posse pal Carol of two seals at paradise cove. By the time they got there just signs were up in corner, no seal. They asked a couple what happened to the seals. The man said one seal left and the other was on the rocks. OH! There on the rocks was Aukai RL12 hiding very well on the rocks. She looks pretty with her shiny new coat.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:35 to 3:08 pm and there were three seals seen during that time. 

About 40 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS were the two weaners looking like manapua.

RV76 larger weaner size, female belly two red tags. She disappeared about 1:02 pm and appeared about 2:26 directly down from the 1BS.

RV50: smaller weaner size, female belly, three red tags and N81 applied bleach on her left side.

At 1:26 pm Marilyn became aware of the sub-adult between the 3BS and SRI channel. This turned out to be a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, small adult size, newer coat, male belly not sure about tags.

Team R&B were on the west side by rest camp when they saw two seals foraging. One seal was an adult with a clean coat, not sure about tags. Reported as an Unknown Adult. The other adult had lots of green but their pictures did not help ID.

Meanwhile over at the outfall where there were three seal foraging. They were able to ID R3CX Nalu, but had no luck IDing the other two Unknown Adults.

Then they spotted an adorable young seal passing by. They couldn't see tags, but did see a scar under the right eye, clean coat (newly molted). The young seal kept going and didn't haul out. They though maybe it might be RU04, but reported as an Unknown Sub-adult.

They hung out in the area, when another seal arrived. It was R617 cruising along and he came in and landed, looking around.  He rolled over and over then left. Guess he didn't find what he was looking for. 

He is looking handsome, they saw his scar on his head and ding on shoulders, no tags.

They got a text from posse pal Carol of two seals hauled out at paradise cove. It took Team R&B a while before they finally made it out. There on shore was RP28 Wakea looking green and plump.

The other seal was clean coat, RL20 Kalua. He seems to have lost his L21 tag.
