August 22, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

On the west side their first find were two seals at the zen area. One of them was Miss Kala RH76 who recently weaned her pup on Rabbit Island. She of course is thin, but is in her comfortable place. With Miss Kala was RL20 Kalua, he on the other hand is looking robust.

From afar they could see RP28 Wakea on shore at tracks. All was good until a couple came by and started taking photos. It ended with RP28 leaving the area.

Over by the outfall they spotted two green seals foraging. For a moment they thought one of them had an injury until they determined it was RL12 Aukai molting. She was in the company of an Unknown Adult.
Anticipating that Aukai was heading to paradise cove they headed over despite having a hard time parking. When they arrived Aukai was already hauled out with signs up. But there were lots of fans, tourist were beyond the signs. Team R&B called out to move back now! The place cleared quickly except for those few that just do what they do, ignore the rules.

Next they headed over to plains to check. The beach was wall to wall people and then there was Marvin RT06. He was resting on shore.

Last stop they found a green seal on shore. The seal didn't have any tags, so at first they weren't sure. Then a wave flipped the seal over and they ID'd R416.

August 21, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:18 to 2:49 pm and there were either four or five seals on island during that time.
Initially hauling out on the 1BS side of LPB was recent weaner PO13: fat weaner size, light female belly and no tags. PO13 moved across the beach towards the LPB and then went into snooze mode.
About 60 fee Makapuu side of the 3BS were two seals:
Adult Unknown 1: adult size older, coat, no info on sex or tags.
Nearby was weaner RV50: weaner size, three red tags, female belly and applied N81 bleach on left shoulder.
Near the SRI channel was Weaner Unknown: weaner size light belly no info on tags. The AU1 left RV50 and swam over and pestered the WU.
At 2:05 pm Adult Unknown 2: was found hauled out on the 1BS side of LPB. AU2 may be the same seal as AU1, but Marilyn just couldn't
be sure. The AU2 moved down near the water and then moved back on thee berm.

Team R&B were on the west side when they spotted an adult female with green on her coat. They saw a CC scar on right side and one tag. They thought maybe Kala, but when they got home and studied the photos they realized it was RL42 Leia, this being her first visit to the area that they know of.
A second seal arrived and immediately went up to RL42. It was a male with no tags, and very robust. He had scars on his head and that was made them ID him as R617.  While watching the two of them, they noticed RL42 had small bite marks on neck and head, but she was fine.

At the outfall area they saw two seals, but they couldn't get any decent
photos. The only thing they know is they were both adults with green on their coats. Team R&B stayed and watched the dolphins for a little while.

Next they decided to stop off at paradise cove. When they got to the site they saw a seal resting. It was RL12 Aukai and she is molting. There was a volunteer on site.

Of course they made their way to plains to check on Marvin.  Much to their delight they found KG54/G89 Huaki on shore. She is looking
healthy with a nice clean coat.
Then there was his boy RT06 Marvin back to his usual spot near the fence line. The beach was packed with plenty of kids running around, some in the zone.  RT06 looks good and managed to rest with all the people around.
