March 1, 2026 Sunday's' Dailies

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

They started their day once again looking for little N45. They checked the places where they have found seen him before and did not see the little buggah. They did see a turtle coming in on shore.
Then they spotted a little seal from afar, so they hurried over to find; RU40. He was resting comfortably. They did a check later in the day just before sunset and he was still there. 

Continuing their check of the west side they found two more seals. There was RW02 PvKauai at seal inlet and he was resting comfortably. Then there was RU12 was on lower rocks. 

At pipes they saw a seal foraging. There were snorkelers and a jet ski close by. Team R&B couldn't make an ID, just not enough time, in that the seal disappeared.  The seal was reported as an Unknown Adult

Next stop they found RG32 resting alone. He is the same seal they saw with the applied bleach that looks like AYO.

Team R&B made their way to plains and found the lovely Miss Aukai RL12. She was visited by another seal but it had left before they got
there. Big thanks to the lifeguards out there, they really do care about the seals.
They did see that a fisherman had hooked a turtle, and thankfully he cut the line.

They were heading home after a very long day looking for Na'au N45. Just before sunset they made a quick stop at the beach where they has seen RU40. But now there was their boy N45 Na'au aka Temp 402. He was resting with a turtle peacefully. Needless to say they were thrilled and relieved to go home knowing he is okay.

February 28, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team R&B 💕

They started on the west side looking for their little skinny kid. It took them a while but they finally found him. N45 was alone and snoozing peacefully.
Their next find was RW02 PvKauai. He was alone in seal inlet snoozing. He is looking good and its nice to have him around again.
Then they spotted a sub-adult size seal with a mint green coat. The seal never moved, although they did the red tags. They think this is RU12 but they couldn't confirm his ID.

Their last find was a Kahe. There was a good size seal on the rocks. They were thrown off, as there was an applied bleach mark that looked like AYO. They think its RG32.

February 27, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 2:22 pm and there initially three seals, with a fourth arriving later.
About 30 feet Makappu of the 1BS was an Adult Male: adult size, mottled gray male belly, at least one red tag. 
Down from 3BS was a Sub-adult Female: small sub-adult size, light female belly, no info on tags.
At 1:58 pm, Marilyn noticed a Juvenile Unknown had joined the S/F. The J/U was juvenile size, at least one red tag, no info on sex because she never saw the ventral.
On  the rock flats next to the SRI channel was an Adult Female: large adult size, gray female belly, no info on tags, scar on lower neck/upper chest. Marilyn suspects based on her chubby size she may be pregnant.
Today is the first day she has seen multiple Masked Boobies. She saw two adult pairs, one solo adult and two juveniles.

Team R&B did their usual searches in the area at pokai. They noticed there were some seals foraging on the rest camp side. Then a fight broke out between the seals, so they figured it was a couple of males. Then they disappeared. Eventually one seal came hauling it, they ID'd RL20.
A fisher saw Team R&B and pointed out a seal to them. They were surprised to see this huge female Miss Kala RH76.
They waited around to see if another male would haul in. Plus there were some people with little kids going down to the seals. Team R&B did their best to tell them to stay away.
Then Team R&B saw the third seal: R3CX Nalu, the boy is back in the area, most likely check out Kala. He hauled up and went to sleep, but kept looking at the lovely, fat female, Kala.

They headed west to look for their little seal. They were thrilled finding him when they arrive, there was N45 aka Temp 402 Na'au. There were some signs up, but Team R&B added more. One woman decided to take down the sign while her husband took her photo geesh!  Team R&B met a professional photographer and talked story about N45.
All the people left and Team R&B were alone with the little guy, he looks better but still needs to put on some weight. He never left his spot, even when the waves slammed him, he just stayed.

Team R&B left to the area and head out to check other areas. They spotted a seal from afar at electric beach. It was an adult resting alone. They are not sure about tags or any other markers. They did see a dog off leash playing ball.

Then they spotted another seal snoozing with some women close by. The seal has a ding on mid-back and another cc on its butt area. This could be R407, but they reported him as an Unknown Adult.

They ended their day seeing three pods of whales and one pod had five whales. Very exciting!
