Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:40 to 2:00 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. She would have stayed longer but the waves were splashing on the pier rocks and she didn't want to get the camera wet.

Alone on LPB was weaner PO13 : large weaner size, light female belly, no tags yet. She entered the water sometime around 1:00 pm. NOAA hopes to get to tag her at some point, but the weather has not been cooperating.

Between Middle Cliff and the 3BS was a Weaner Unknown: weaner size, some yellow in coat, sex not determined, at least two tags.

Down from the 3BS was a Sub-adult Female: Marilyn has been labeling it as a S/F but isn't sure of size or sex, has a new coat, light

belly and at least two tags.

Between the 3BS and SRI was a Weaner Female: weaner size, some yellow in coat, female belly and at least two red tags.

Team R&B spotted a seal foraging at rest camp. No details to ID so its reported as an Unknown Adult.

Next they headed over to plains and found one seal on shore. It was the handsome old dude R407 Kawika. They were happy to see him, too bad RT06 wasn't there too.

Another short and sweet day.

Todays daily is short and sweet brought to you by Team R&B💕

On their travels they saw this huge flower on a tree and didn't know what it was, but wanted to share.

They had appointments today so it was a short seal day. Of course they checked to see if any critters were around. Their only find today was at plains. RT06 Marvin is back on the beach. They noted it looks as though he might have some bite marks on his shoulder area, but other than that he looks okay.

Starting on the west side once again they were happy to find Miss Kala RH76. Also per Marilyn her pup PO13 on Rabbit Island is fat and healthy.  Kala was well hidden again making finding her a challenge, even knowing she was there if you looked away you would miss her.

Next they went to the outfall and there were no seals seen. The fishers told them that two seals were there early in the morning. So they

moved on and keeping an eye on the ocean for anything moving. Then a seal passed by them, it was the Unknown Adult again. It is so green and they still can't come up with an ID. They remembered how Kaale Rh32 was known for stealing fish. RL20 was another seal known to be a little thief. We all miss our beloved RH32 Kaale.

Team R&B made it out to plains and checked all the usual spots, but there were no seals. Then they noticed way down to the right was a

seal. It was R407 Kawika. They wonder if he's going to molt soon, since he's looking grubby.

They didn't find any other seals for the rest of the day. Their day ended on their way home the Makaha Valley gave them a beautiful rainbow. Team R&B felt this was in memory of a friend that passed.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:09 to 2:15 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

Not seen until 1 pm out on the rock flats on the Lanikai side of LPB was weaner PO13. Marilyn only saw the front third of her body but is sure this was her. She was gone by 1:37 pm and Marilyn did not see her again.

Down from the 3BS were two seals:

Adult Male: smaller adult size, male belly about 45% molted no visible tags.

Nearby was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner size, three tags and probably female. She entered the water at 12:10 pm and hauled out closer to the SRI at 12:38 pm

Initially on waterfront rocks near the SRI channel was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner size,, at least two red tags, unsure of sex. At 1:103 pm Marilyn found WU2 hauled out near WU1. WU1 & WU2 were near each other for almost an hour before one of the two weaners left.

Team R&B's first find today was at the outfall. They spotted the unknown mystery adult once again. They have been trying for days to figure out this green seal, it just hasn't given them much to work with. It's coat is very green, adult size and has a tag. 

Since they didn't see the second seal foraging at the outfall with the Unknown Adult they decided to check out paradise cove. Well well well, there was Aukai RL12 snoozing on shore. Team R&B adjusted the signs a little, since they were too far to the left.

Next stop they headed over to plains to see if any seals were there today. It appears RT06 is still away filling his belly. But onshore was Kawika R407 resting peacefully.

In spite of checking several beaches these were the only critters they came across today.

Starting their morning on the west side they found that Miss Kala RH76 continues to hide from the males. She was so well hidden they almost missed her.  

They spotted an adult seal foraging on the rest camp side. They waited but the seal didn't land.

Next they headed over to plains. According to Team R&B, apparently RT06 Marvin went on a fishing expo. But Uncle Kawika R407 was in his spot on shore. R407 was resting peacefully.

It took them a while to make their way back to the west side. They stopped at the outfall and they spotted two seals foraging. Because of the glare form the sun they weren't able to focus the camera to get an ID. So today it's just two Unknowns.

They did get to see some of the dolphins doing what they do best.
