August 24, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:10 to 2:17 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
Initially near each other on LPB were two seals:
Recent Weaner PO13: recent weaner size, no tags, female belly.
Adult Male 1: adult size, old coat, no tags seen, might be starting to molt but not sure. AM1 moved around PO13 and later moved to the beach Lanikai side of the beach.
Down from 3BS were two weaners near each other:
RV52 weaner size, mostly sand covered, female belly and to red tags.
RV50 weaner size, female belly, three red tags, and applied N81 bleach on left front side.
Out on RRB where he was yesterday was Adult Male 2: adult size, new coat, two tags and male belly.

Team R&B started on the west side. Their first find was Miss Kala RH76, she was resting at the zen. She was alone, looking a little thin but doing okay.
Later in the afternoon they went back to check and now Miss Kala was in the company of R617.

Checking things out by the outfall they did see Miss Aukai RL12 with a Unknown Adult. They were foraging once again. Must be good spot to catch a bite.

Team R&B got word of a seal on the west side, so they went back to check it out. They walked so far on the beach not finding anything. Disappointed they went back to the car. Their friend saw them and asked if they saw the seal? ..... what seal? So their friend took them all the way back and there in plain view was RU04. Happy to see her but
not sure how they missed her. She is looking good, nice weight and very green.

Last stop was at the cliffs. They saw a big adult seal with clean coat and no disguisable marks, and a red tag they couldn't read. They thought maybe it was a female but didn't have a good enough view to be sure.

August 23, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:11 to 2:15 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
On the Lanikai side of LPB was weaner RV50: weaner size,  female belly, three red tags and applied N81 bleach on left shoulder. She later moved towards the back of LPB and then disappeared.
About 30 feet in the Makapuu direction was recent weaner PO13: large recent weaner size, didn't see her female belly and she doesn't have tags yet.
In the middle of LPB were two seals:
Adult Male 1: adult size, old coat with lots of green and brown, did not see tags. Later the adult male moved forward on the beach and then further back on the beach behind PO13.
Weaner Female: weaner size, light female belly and at least two tags.
At 12:27 pm, Marilyn spotted Adult Male 2 on RRB, he had not been there earlier. AM2: adult size, male belly, new coat, unsure about tags.

Team R&B spotted two seals foraging together by the outfall. They knew one was RL12 Aukai, since they could see the seal was molting. The other is an adult, but they couldn't tell more than that.
They passed by heading in the direction of KoOlina. Team R&B didn't go today and they didn't have anyone onsite to contact.

They saw the dolphins were far out today, but they did stop and watched. They noticed one of them had a big wound on the right upper side. There were a few little ones out today too.
Lastly they got a text of a seal hauled out at plains. When they arrived there was the adorable RT06 Marvin with a palm frond. They have noticed he doesn't like things in his way and ends up pushing whatever it is around.

August 22, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕

On the west side their first find were two seals at the zen area. One of them was Miss Kala RH76 who recently weaned her pup on Rabbit Island. She of course is thin, but is in her comfortable place. With Miss Kala was RL20 Kalua, he on the other hand is looking robust.

From afar they could see RP28 Wakea on shore at tracks. All was good until a couple came by and started taking photos. It ended with RP28 leaving the area.

Over by the outfall they spotted two green seals foraging. For a moment they thought one of them had an injury until they determined it was RL12 Aukai molting. She was in the company of an Unknown Adult.
Anticipating that Aukai was heading to paradise cove they headed over despite having a hard time parking. When they arrived Aukai was already hauled out with signs up. But there were lots of fans, tourist were beyond the signs. Team R&B called out to move back now! The place cleared quickly except for those few that just do what they do, ignore the rules.

Next they headed over to plains to check. The beach was wall to wall people and then there was Marvin RT06. He was resting on shore.

Last stop they found a green seal on shore. The seal didn't have any tags, so at first they weren't sure. Then a wave flipped the seal over and they ID'd R416.
