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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:31 to 2:19 pm and  there were four seals seen during that time.

First the news, PO5 (RF34's pup) is anow weaned! He was initially seen about midway between the 1BS and 2BS, but later he entered the water and moved in the direction of the 2BS and hauled out again. He wandered around for a while and seemed to be vocalizing (probably looking for mama) and then disappeared at 1:15 pm and Marilyn did not see him again.

Weaner PO3 was again on LPB above the LPB channel. She spent most of her time snoozing. Marilyn saw her roll over partially but she seemed to be in snooze mode.'

RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 hauled out near the 1BS at about 12:45 pm. They immediately went into nursing mode until PO$ finally started snoozing. PO4's Allflex tag was visible in a number of the photos.

Marilyn is still unsure of PO4's sex and did not see its ventral side today. She suspects it will be weaned soon.

Team R&B searched the west side. At one location they almost miss the seal, but luckily the seal did a flipper flex. Thankfully they saw it, and ID'd Miss Kala RH76. She was well hidden. When they went back later she was gone.

Next they stopped at kahe and found R416 sleeping in the pond where the seals hang out. Then he started rolling about when the tide came up. He galumphed over the rocks and left but this time he headed west towards the outfall area when they lost sight of him.

While on site they managed to capture a dragon fly in flight.

Team R&B didn't find anymore seals but they did stop at Makaha and checked out the surf. There were several surfers out there braving the pounding surf.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:27 to 1:58 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Behind the LPB channel was PO3 probably female, but still not sure. The weaned pup stayed in the same place during Marilyn's viewing session.

RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 were in the water during the first part of Marilyn's session. They hauled out about 12:56 pm midway between the 1BS and the 2BS. The pup then nursed and later went into snooze mode. Marilyn got a sideways view of the pup's coat getting lighter on the ventral, but couldn't determine its sex.

About 40 feet closer to the 2BS was RF34 Pua and her male pup PO5. They snoozed for a while and then the pup nursed. The pup later moved into the water, but returned a short time later and RF34 and PO5 went into snooze mode. PO5 appears to be larger than PO4.

Team R&B were on the west side when they spotted a seal foraging off the jetty. After about 45 minutes the seal came up to the rocks and hauled out. It was RL20 Kalua and both his bleaches were showing.

There were a lot of fish way out at sea, the birds were diving and flying about like crazy. 

Team R&B got word of a little seal at Nanakuli so they hurried over to see. The seal was RU22 and she was back on shore. She is looking skinny and so green. She moved around to cool down near the water. They suspect she will molt soon.

Their next stop was at Kahe where they spotted a seal in a pond. It was R416 alone and resting. Suddenly he left the pond, galumphed over the rocks and left the area. He was heading in the direction of KoOlina, and they thought "bet that bugga going to Paradise Cove".

Of course Team R&B headed over to KoOlina and luckily found parking. Got to the beach and there was one big seal on shore. No signs were up which is a real shame. It was Aukai RL12 with lots of fans close by taking photos. Team R&B advised them to give her space.

Then Team R&B spotted another seal coming in. It was that bugga R416, he hauled up with Aukai. Of course now the people all come running over. Again Team R&B asked them all to stop, and not to go near the seals. Team R&B got creative and gathered some sticks and found some rope. It worked and the people moved away. They took the time to educate people who were interested.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:07 to 2:13 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time. 

Alone on the rock flats Lanikai of LPB was PO3. Marilyn is still unsure of the sex of PO3. She seems to get only brief looks at the ventral of this seal. She can see the Allflex tag on the RRF. PO3 seems to be doing okay on its own.

In the middle of LPB and barely moving were RK38 Hali'a and her

pup PO4. Marilyn did see PO4 nurse for an extended period of time, but otherwise there was little movement. Marilyn expects RK38 to wean the pup any day.

Initially about 50 feet Lanikai side of the 2BS were Pua RF34 and her pup PO5. PO5 nursed and then the pair entered the water about 12:23 pm. They hauled out closer to Middle Cliff about an hour later. PO5 again nursed and went into snooze mode.

A Juvenile Male was on the Lanikai side of Middle Cliff, but moved about 35 feet  closer to Middle Cliff when RF34 and PO5 hauled out where the J/M had been resting. The J/M is larger juvenile size with a fair amount of green and two red tags.

A Juvenile Female was out on RRB: juvenile size, female belly, lots of green and two red tags.

Out on the west side Team R&B's first sighting was an Unknown Adult. The U/A was foraging alone at the rest camp side. They didn't have enough to get an ID, but did note the U/A has a lot of green.

Next they did a check at Paradise cove but there was no parking. They were able to get in line and Barb went to check while hubby waited. There on the luau side was R416. Today all was okay, and there were two women there keeping an eye on him. They said he was in the water swimming about and landed about 7 AM.  Team R&B hung out until about 11ish. A volunteer arrived with signs and ropes. They updated the volunteer who the seal was and the other ladies told her when he arrived.

Lastly they made their way to the cliffs. They noted all the beaches and parks were packed today. Finally after searching they spotted a seal on the rocks. There alone snoozing was RP30 Puka. He is looking good.

To finish their day they watched the dolphins do what they do best.
