November 11, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:38 to 1:54 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.
Down from the 1BS was an Adult Male: adult size, old coat, no tags seen.
Nearby was a Juvenile Female 1:  larger juvenile size, apparently molted female ventral and two red tags.
At 1:19 pm a Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult size, two red tags, no info on sex.
About 2/3rds the way between the 1BS and the 2BS was a Juvenile Female 2: larger juvenile size, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B had to take their car in for repairs today so they got a late start searching for seals. All the beaches were packed. They did see only one seal foraging today. It was an adult but other than that they didn't have much to work with. Reported as an Unknown Adult.
The only other seal they found today was RP28 Wakea . He was resting alone on the rocks.

November 10, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

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

They had a very full day between running errands and searching for seals. Their first find today was a seal hauling up on shore. It was RP28 Wakea, and for once nobody bothered him while they were there.

At Kahe they saw RM31 Kai coming in, but there were people fishing on the rocks, so he kept going. He was heading in the KoOlina direction. They were able to get a couple of photos of him coming in from the outfall area.
They saw another seal foraging at the outfall. This was an Unknown Adult with mint green face. The seal never landed.

Next stop was at plains where they found KG89 Huakai peacefully resting on shore. The Lifeguards made a big zone for her after the other day people walking up to her. But today she was resting and nobody bothering her.

Lastly they took a ride out to yoks. They saw a seal from afar but the area is still closed. Then they saw a man in an aloha shirt walk up to the seal who moved up further. Never a dull moment with the poor monk seals.. They described the seal as adult size, green on its coat, not sure of tags. It was too late to make the walk out.

November 8, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:28 to 2:43 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.
Initially out on the berm on LPB was a Sub-adult Male: large juvenile to small sub-adult size, probably male, two tags, about 35% molted on the ventral side, dorsal still shows old coat.
About 30 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS was an Adult Male 1: adult size, newer coat, probably male, no tags seen. This might be R430.
About 20 feet on the Makapuu side of the 1BS was Adult Male 2: adult size, old coat, male belly and two red tags.
Another 30 feet in the Makapuu direction was Adult Male 3: adult size, new coat, male belly and two red tags.

Team R&B spotted three seals foraging off the outfall. One of the Unknown Adults had mint green face and clean coat. The second Unknown Adult had a clean coat and at one point the two were close enough together they got a photo.  The third seal with the others was
newly molted. That seal finally hauled out and they were able to ID RM31 Kai.
While there Team R&B witnessed another rescue today.

Next they checked out Plains and found a big seal on shore close to the water. It was KG89 Huakai. They were glad they made a quick ID because she left shortly after they arrived. A couple had walked up to her, and the lifeguard educated them, explaining the zone was set up for a reason.

November 8, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Starting out on the west side they spotted a seal alone. It was a female with on tag, at first they thought it was Kala, but then noticed a long line scar on right side  of her face. Kala doesn't have any scar on her right side unless its a new scratch.  They really weren't sure so it is an Unknown Female.

Their second find on the west side was RV20 hauled out on shore. He
was resting, but there were so many footprints all around him. They called the hotline and stayed with him for a while.

They headed out to plains and when they arrived they saw a seal with a clean coat, smaller in size, and tag was T06/T07...... it's Marvin. He's back ! Team R&B noted he looked thinner this visit they could count up to 4 ribs depending on his position. He's usually robust, other than that he seemed fine.  There was a plover interested in him.

Next sighting was at tracks from afar. It was a female with no tags hauled out on shore. There were two ladies that came by with an unleashed dog. The dog got close to the seal, the seal barked and the ladies took the dog away by holding its collar. A couple of homeless dogs charged the ladies and dog.  Team R&B did see a volunteer on site.

At Kahe they found RM31 Kai who is fully molted. His tags were
visible and he is looking good. He was resting in a small pond on the rocks.

Last but not least they spotted a seal out in the water close to a jet-ski. They were able to ID R416 by his scar on right side of his face, and no tags. He seemed to be done with his molt. They waited but he never hauled out.
