May 4, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:25 to 2:42 pm and there were ten seals on island today.

On the Lanikai side of LPB was MO3 and her pup PO3. They spent much of the early viewing time swimming in the LPB channel, but later hauled out and a feed before going into snooze mode.

Closer to the 1BS side of LPB were two seals:

R416 Makali'i: sub-adult to adult size male belly, distinctive scars and dark patches on the ventral and no tags. 

Adult Female: large adult female, presumably pregnant, dark coat, at least one possibly two red tags. Marilyn believes this is RB12 Sadie, but time will tell.  That leaves the question who is MO3?

Down from the 3BS was what turned out to be RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4. When they hauled out for a nursing session they were only a short distance from a seal that Marilyn couldn't ID, labeled as Unknown Sub-adult. Later RK38 and pup went for a swim and then hauled out between the 3BS and Middle Cliff.

Between the 3BS and SRI was RF34 Pua and her pup PO5. She was

initially on the waterfront rocks and PO5 did nurse while she was there. When they moved up onto the beach Marilyn was able to confirm RF34's ID based on the scar on her right side. When PO5 nursed, Marilyn thinks she saw its applied 5 bleach behind the LFF.

The unknown with RK38 was a Sub-adult. The seal entered the water and about 10 minutes later at 1:55 pm hauled out of the SRI channel and moved up the beach. No info on tags or sex.

Team R&B was out on the west side and it was another slow seal day.

But they did see some dolphins and spent some time enjoying them.

They decided to go check out plains and were thrilled there were three seals.

All the way left was little RT06 resting in his own zone.

Then there was R407 Kawika, he was about 60 feet away from the lovely Aukai. Team R&B enjoy watching him, in that in their words "He's a very cool male".

And then there was RL12 Aukai who didn't have anything to do with R407 today. She just snoozed away from him.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 1:53 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

On LPB were MO3 and her pup PO3 (who is 3 weeks old today). There was also a Sub-adult Male

MO3 vocalized at the SM as they were hauling out. Marilyn saw several nursing sessions. Marilyn noted she might have seen an orange "blur" on PO3's right side, which maybe the result of an applied 3. When PO3 moved up from the beach from MO3 closer to the SM, MO3 moved up between the pup and SM.

The Sub-adult Male was sub-adult to small adult size, sand covered male belly with a possible dark patch on the ventral not sure about tags.

RF34 Pua and PO5 were nursing when Marilyn started viewing. Ar 12:29 pm, Pua and PO5 entered the water and swam until hauling out at 12:51 pm. Then they went into snooze mode.

RK38 Hali'a was again asleep on to of the waterfront rocks. But after her pup PO4 started vocalizing, RK38 hauled out and the pup nursed.

There was a yacht race today that took the boats in front of Rabbit Island and then they rounded the island and headed back past thee Makapuu Lighthouse and presumably to Ala Wai Harbor.

Team R&B started their day on the west side and were very happy to find not one but two seals together. There was RH76 Kala with R3CX Nalu. 

As they went to the site Nalu was leaving so they hurried over to get his ID. Then he went foraging. Kala remained on shore.

Then they got a text of a seal hauling up at plains. By the time they made it out there, four seals were on shore. They were all in one zone thanks to the lifeguards.

First they came across was RP20, she was with Aukai RL12. Then there was RT06 and he was with R407.

After leaving plains and heading back to the west side they made a stop at kahe. There in the pond that all the seals seem to love they found Lefty RG28. He was alone and doing just fine.

From afar they spotted two adult seals at yoks. They couldn't get out there because the area is still closed. They did their best to get IDs but it was too far. They reported them both as Unknown Adults.

Then to close out the day they saw two whales, a mom and calf!
