Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:46 to 2:56 pm and there were five seals seen during that tim.
On the middle of LPB were two seals:
Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, old coat with lots of green, female belly, no info on tags.
Initially on the 1BS side of LPB was weaner RV76: recent weaner size, female belly and two red tags. At 12:51 pm she moved into the water. At 2:14 pm Marilyn found RV76 on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB. She was belly up and her female belly visible and at one point her tags.
On the rock flats on the Makapuu side of the SRI channel was an Adult Male: adult size, old coat with some green, make belly and no info on tags.
At 2:44 pm, a Juvenile Unknown 2 hauled out on the back Lanikai side of LPB. UJ2: juvenile size, no info on tags or sex.
Team R&B started their busy day on the west side. Their first sighting were two seals together. Well it seems Miss Kala RH76 had found a new partner because today she was with RM31 Kai. Wonder what happened to R617?
Over by rest camp they spotted a couple of seals foraging. With much persistence they were able to ID two lovely ladies. Miss RH48 LEi Ola and RL12 Aukai. Getting the ID shots is a challenge when the seals are foraging.
From afar they spotted a seal hauling up at tracks. A group of fans immediately came over. They could see the seal reacting by barking, posturing and leaving. The seal had a lot of green and they think it was a male. They reported it as an Unknown Male.
