July 1, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:20 to 2:10 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

At 1:21 pm Marilyn saw a Weaner Unknown hauling out on the rocks near the Lanikai side of LPB.  The unknown weaner never showed its belly, it was weaner size and had at least two flipper tags.

Of the Lanikai side of the center of LPB were two seals:

Adult Female: small adult size, older coat, light yellow female belly, not sure about tags. 

Nearby was a Sub-adult Female: might be RU28. The SF is about 60% molted with a fully molted ventral and some molting part way up the sides.

Down from the 3BS were RM26 Nohea and her pup PO10. The pup was nursing when Marilyn first started viewing, but a short time later stopped nursing and moved up above mom's head. PO10 is getting plump.

Near the SRI entrance was a Weaner Male: weaner size, male belly and at least two red tags.

Out on RRB was a Juvenile Female: small juvenile size, lots of green, female belly, unsure about tags.

Team R&B started on the west side and weren't finding much until an adult seal passed them when they were in the Kahe area. The seal didn't land while they were out there.

Meanwhile they were watching the dolphins doing what they do best putting on a show.

Then from afar they spotted a sub-adult green seal had landed at

tracks.

They got to the pup site later and were shocked to see people were where Rocky and the pup had spent the last four days swimming in the ponds. Team R&B asked one of the guys where are the seals?

They were, mid pond floating about and exploring. Team R&B mentioned they were concerned all the people by the birth site. Rocky will take her pup there for a rough water swim...... and she did.  Volunteer asked all to move away and up signs. All the signs at the driftwood side were gone and placed on the ground.

Rocky landed at the mid rocks, barked for PO11, who is 18 days old, to come up. PO11 struggled, but finally made it up for a feed. 

Team R&B left for a while to check another spot.

They got word of a seal at plains, so they of course had to check it out. When they arrived they were happy to see RT06. He is looking fat and happy inside a zone set up for him. Such a cutey!

After checking on RT06 they returned to Rocky and PO11. The waves were pounding hitting them while they were still on the rocks. In the end, PO11 got pushed off the rocks and Momma Rocky watched her in the rough waters. She entered

the water as the pup was being washed off to the right. Rocky began vocalizing when she couldn't find PO11.Team R&B were worried, but then mom and pup were reunited heading towards the driftwood side. There were lots of people there in the pond, and Rocky was still being so vocal and they could see she wan pup were reunited again. The two of them hauled outside the fenced area, both tuckered out. PO11 wanted dinner and Mom fed her.

June 30, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:35 to 2:40 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

There as an ever changing group of four seals on LPB or the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB.

There was a group of three seals on the rock flats soon after Marilyn started viewing including an Adult Unknown, Weaner Male, and an Unknown Unknown almost hidden in a crevice. All of these seals moved on to the back Lanikai side of LPB at some point. 

Initially at the back middle of LPB was a seal labeled Sub-adult Unknown. This seal appears to be molting but Marilyn never saw the ventral so she couldn't estimate the amount of molting.

Later all four seals were in a group on the left back of LPB including the A/U and S/U and two weaner males. 

At 1:10 pm Marilyn spotted RM26 Nohea and PO10 among the waterfront rocks about 2/3s of the way between the 1BS and 2BS. They had an extended nursing session and then the pup moved up and partially hidden by waterfront rocks.

At 2:11  pm Marilyn noticed that the weaner female RV50 had hauled out down from the 3BS: weaner size, female belly and three red tags.

Team R&B were very surprised to find Miss Kala RH76 on the west side.  She was resting in a little pond and there were a few tourist that informed Team R&B of the seal.  We were all hoping Miss Kala would be on her way to Rabbit Island. She is so big she is moving quite slow hauling up on the rocks.  

At another location they saw something on shore from afar. They headed over and found RU22 looking very green.

Stopping at Kahe they found Mr. Lefty RG28. It's been a while since they have seen him. He's looking good.

Once again from afar they spotted two seals at tracks. There were people around them, so Team R&B drove down. There they found RH48 Lei Ola with a male who had 2 red tags. They couldn't ID the male with so much sand, they thought maybe R3CX but can't be sure.

At electric beach they saw people focusing on something in the water. Team R&B kept looking and then saw two seals fighting. While fighting they kept going and out of sight. No ID on either , reported as unknown adults.

Team R&B finally made it out to the pup site at 1:30 pm. They had a busy start of the day on the west side. When they arrived they didn't see mom or pup at all. They asked a woman about them and she point way down to another area. They were near the first birth pond area swimming. They couldn't believe that was a man with his boy

swimming in the zoned off area. Team R&B looked for a volunteer but couldn't find any.

Mom and pup were coming towards the area after a while. PO11 is getting stronger day by day. Rocky is a good mom. She kept barking at the kid, come on lets go!

Team R&B saw that a volunteer arrived, and they asked if they should move the signs back as Rocky and pup were showing interest in landing. They offered to dig the holes again, so they waited.

They met a nice lady who was camping to the left and share photos of the pup. She was really touched by the photos of the birth. Team R&B advised not to go into the area as the mom is very aggressive, the woman appreciated the advice.

Then Team R&B see another lady in the zone with mom and pup. WHAT are people thinking. Team R&B alerted the volunteer and called out to the woman. The volunteer ran down but the lady went down took her pictures and left. 

Team R&B and volunteer made the zone better with ropes, arrow boards to go around.  Team R&B left the area as Mom and pup settled in for a nursing session.
