May 30, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilynn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 2:13 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.
Again on LPB was weaner PO3, she moved around in a small area. PO3: weaner size, female belly and an Allflex tag on the RRF.
Down from the 1BS was weaner PO5: recent weaner size, light male belly, no tags. After the Adult Male left the three other seals near SRI, he visited with PO5 briefly.
RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 are still together. Initially they were at Middle Cliff area where they nursed and snoozed. At 1:15 pm, Marilyn realized that RK38 and PO4 had disappeared, a short time later they hauled out on the beach between the 3BS and SRI. Marilyn wonders how much longer RK38 will stay with the pup.
Initially near the SRI channel were an Adult Male and MO10 and PO10. MO10 has some scars on her right dorsal side. A short time later a Sub-adult Female hauled out behind the SRI channel. Then the AM went over to the SF. They then moved up very near to Mom and
pup. There was lots of moving around. At one point PO10 moved down to the AM near the SRI channel. The pup then returned to mom. The AM left the SRI channel area about 1 pm and briefly visited PO5 near the 1BS. The SF was sub-adult soze, light ventral with female belly, not sure about tags. The AM was large adult size, darker coat, male belly, at least one red tag.

Team R&B were surprised today checking out the west side. They spotted a male on the rocks near the zen area. They were overjoyed to see the handsome, RG28 Lefty. He does have a lot of scars but still
handsome being 11 years old. With the rising tide he moved higher up at the zen, where Kala usually hangs out. Aw, if he only knew she was hiding around the other side.

They didn't see her right way, but after a wave came in they spotted a very "fat hippo" in the water. It was RH76 Kala hiding from the boys. She just keeps getting bigger.

Lastly they got word of a seal on shore at plains. The seal had just hauled out, but by they time they got there the beach was filled with people. It was RT06 resting in a nice zone set up by the lifeguards. They truly are the best!  RT06 was snoozing by a sandcastle that some kid probably made, oh well at least RT06 gets to enjoy it.

May 29, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:20 to 2:28 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time. 
The big news was the birth of PO10!!!!
On the far back Lanikai side of LPB was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, female belly, not sure about tags.
On LPB up from the LPB channel was weaner PO3: weaner size, light female belly, Allflex tag on RRF.
Between the 1BS and the 2BS were RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4. RK38 is looking very thin. PO4 is looking bigger but still smaller than PO3 and PO5.

Weaner PO5 started out in the Middle Cliff area and entered the water twice as the tide rose. Then he disappeared and swam down and hauled out near the 1BS. He's weaner size and has a light male belly.
Up from the SRI channel were adult female MO10 and her new pup PO10. MO10 has at least one and probably two tags. PO10 seemed active but also slept for a considerable time. Both mom and pup seem fine.

Team R&B first find on the west side was little RU22. She was alone on shore. Someone from one of the agencies came out to observe. The little one hardly moved.  She is green and thin.
Then they found Miss Kala RH76 alone resting on the rocks near the seal inlet. Team R&B got word that she got an applied bleach of 7. She moved to much to get the N on her.

Later in the day after an appointment they went to plains, after getting a text earlier.
When they arrived there was RT06 on shore. There were kids sat right by the signs, eating and drinking soda. Team R&B watched and listened and one of the kids thought the seal might want a sandwich and then kicked sand. ugh! Thankfully mom came and they left the sight. 
Seems RT06 has put on some weight looking nice and plump..

May 28, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:10 to 2:22 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
Weaner PO3 was on LPB mostly snoozing. She was later visited by an Adult Female and followed the Adult Female into the water. Later returned alone and went back into snooze mode.
RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 were down from the 1BS. They entered the water shortly after Marilyn started viewing and did not haul out until 1:51 pm. Then they moved up the beach and PO4 snoozed.
Weaner PO5 was on the beach down from the 2BS. He moved around a lot but mostly snoozed.
When Marilyn started viewing there was an Adult Female near the SRI channel. She then disappeared and hauled out by the LPB channel and visited with weaner PO3. The AF returned to the water and PO3 followed. Then the AF hauled out alone between the 3BS and SRI and went into snooze mode. Marilyn believes the AF is pregnant, she has a dark coat and two red tags. Marilyn isn't sure who she is.

Team R&B started their day on the west side. Their first find was Miss Kala RH76.  She was alone and resting on the rocks.
While hanging out with Kala they spotted a seal approaching the area. The seal turned into the seal inlet looked, bobbing up and down and left. Then the seal went to another inlet looking around. Team R&B could tell he was pretty happy when he saw Kala.
He quickly hauled in, never taking his eyes off Kala. When he was next to her, she woke up, flipped up her hind flippers, whooping him.
He just toned down, relaxed next to her and they rested.

Team R&B did see the survey boat again near a pod of dolphins. They assume they're doing some type of study.
