Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:49 am to 2:23 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

Out on the Lanikai side of LPB was an adult male that Marilyn believes to be R7AF: adult size, new coat, male belly, not sure about tags.

Initially at the SRI entrance were two seals:

Weaner Unknown: weaner size, tan ventral, not sure about sex or tags, may have an applied bleach on the left side.

Adult Male: adult size, new coat, male belly and two red tags. The weaner and adult male started out at SRI, moved out a short distance along the SRI, then disappeared at 1:01 pm. Later they showed up on shore between the 3BS and SRI. The AM then relocated to the SRI channel leaving the weaner alone.

Out on the RRB was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size,  green coat, female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B started out on the west side staring at the ocean from all sides, looking for seals. Sure enough they spotted the unknown sub-adult with clean coat, green snout, tags but still can't read them. Then suddenly there was another seal. Its R3CX Nalu and the two of them were playing rough, diving and coming up out to their chest. It was fun to watch only wishing they had an ID on the sub-adult.

As they walked around they saw a little seal on shore. It was RV20. They called it in and stuck around

for three hours, no one came out. They did a little educating with a father and two boys who got a little close. They were nice and moved back and listened to stories about the seals.  

Later two local folks walked right up to the seal took photos and then walked away.  Very disappointing and it gets tiring people don't care.

Seems Mr. Nalu R3CX needed some rest after foraging and fighting with the younger seal. They found him on shore alone at Makaha.  They did see wallows up at the house where a small seal slept. Many trails to the water, they wondered if RP28 was there earlier.

They continued to search for more seals, but none were seen. They meet a really nice man and talked story about the  area and its critters. Suddenly the guy said Look Seal !  - Team R&B saw an adult seal with a clean coat, not sure of tags, didn't see any scars. The seal Unknown Adult kept going in the KoOlina direction.

They called a friend to let them know. When they got back on the road traffic was bad so they called it a day.

They arrived at pokai beach and found Miss Kala RH76 alone and snoring. She was enjoying her siesta out there without any males pestering her.

Over by rest camp  Team R&B saw the kayaks and paddle boarders gathering and smiling and taking photos. They knew why...... Nalu R3CX was foraging out there, then zipping about between everyone. They never saw him haul out today.

Still on the west side they spotted a sub-adult seal with two red tags. They tried their best noting a scar or mark under its eye but could not make an ID. Seal has a clean coat and green on the snout. He was busy also going all over the place sometimes in front by the jetty and rest camp. Looks like the tag may have a "3" .

They spotted a seal on shore from afar, then two people were picking shells near by and the seal left. Team R&B waited and about 25 minutes later the seal returned and hauled out. There was no one around. Team R&B made their way over and on shore was RP28 Wakea, all alone and happy. 

They headed over to plains and saw a seal on shore. They had a hard time IDing this seal, they saw the cc on back, clean coat, and no tags. Then they realized it was R407 Kawika.  They saw his left eye scar, the natural bleach ball on left rump area. He finally moved out of Nimitz, guess too many people out by the cabins. He had a good zone set up for him.

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

Marilyn got word on her way to view Rabbit Island of a small monk seal hauled out. She went to check it out and it was a young male RV92 (V93 tag) who was born on Moku Nui either late July or early August to RJ30 Wailea.  He looks healthy and did not seem upset by the folks that were around. After her time viewing Rabbit Island she went to check on him and he was still there.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:48 to 2:40 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

On the Lanikai side of LPB was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, older coat with lots of green female belly and at least two red tags.

In the middle of LPB were two seals:

R7AF: adult size, newly molted, male belly and two red tags, and

RV50: weaner size, female belly, three red tags and applied N81 bleach.

On the beach near the 1BS was RK24 Bruno: adult size, recently molted, male belly and two red tags.

Down from the 3BS was a Sub-adult Female: newer coat light female belly and two red tags. (Marilyn noted this could also be recent weaner RV76)

Team R&B first sighting on the west side were multiple seals foraging. The first to be ID'd was Lei Ola RH48, there was an Adult Unknown with green and R3CX Nalu. Nalu left the area.

Next they found Miss Kala RH76 in her zen pond.

They saw people taking photos and saw there were two seal hauled out close to shore on Rest Camp
side. One has cc scars who they think is a male, the other seal a female was huge. They couldn't see tags but thought maybe it was Lei Ola, but just not sure.

The two seals fought on shore and then left. Seal with cc scars was a lighter coat and smaller, female was the bigger of the two.

Still on the west side there was a smaller seal swimming around the bay with people in the water.  Everyone was yelling watch out for the

seal lion, hmmm my guess their not from here . The Unknown Sub-adult had a small line scar under right eye and had tags, and green on its snout.

They saw a seal haul out on shore at Lualualei Beach from afar. They drove over and found the seal was an Adult Male, no tags, an older seal but they just couldn't make an ID.

At another west side location they spotted two seals on shore. One was R3CX Nalu and the other was RP28 Wakea.

At the cliffs they caught a glimpse of a seal. They waited for an hour for the seal to move and they were happy they did. The seal was RU40

They re-checked rest camp for any seals that hauled out. They saw a

big female on shore who they think is Lei Ola RH48, but she left when the waves kept hitting her.

On their way home, but..... they spotted one last seal. Quite a busy day.. It was an adult male with a ding on its back no tags. They believe this is R617.
