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

Starting their day on the west side, they were happy to once again find Kala RH76 and R617 together. So they have been referring to the male with RH76 as RG32, but according to NOAA it's actually R617 with the ding on his back.   Either way these two have a thing going on.

Team R&B went over to the rest camp side and spotted an adult seal. It was RH48 Lei Ola  foraging. She has a clean coat and her one red
tag. She stayed all day long. Team R&B made a late check and she was still pigging out.

Over by the outfall they could see two seals foraging. One seemed greener coat, and the other with a clean coat, either way they were reported as Unknowns.

While watching over the outfall they did spot a big seal on the rocks. Checking him out it was RL20 Kalua resting without a car in the world.

They heard there were no seals at paradise cove, then shortly after they got word from posse pal Carol. There was a seal, so Team R&B hurried over. Parking is a problem, when they finally got a space they quickly made their way to the beach. There was the lovely Miss Aukai

RL12. She was sound a sleep on the rocks and there were signs up.

Then they made one last check on the west side. They were shocked to find RM31 Kai with Kala RH76. R617 was no where to be seen, hmmm wonder if there was a confrontation.

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.

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.
