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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:56 t0 1:36 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

Between Middle Cliff and the 3BS was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, older coat, yellowish brown male belly and two red tags. He is probably the same male she saw on Monday.

Up from the SRI channel was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size light yellow female belly and two red tags. She is probably the same seal that was in that spot on Monday.

The island has gotten green with all the rain we been getting, and more to come.

Team R&B spent quite awhile searching this morning without finding any seals. Then finally they spotted a male on shore on the west side. It was RU40 Wai and he was alone. They were hoping it was N45.

With all the driftwood on the shorelines its hard to see if there are seals on the beaches.

Team R&B decided to check out plains and were happy to see fat mama to be KG89 Huakai. She was not alone today, R407 was keeping her company. Funny he looks so small compared to her.

Thankfully the lifeguards went above and beyond and set up a zone for them.

They headed back to the west side and this time they found RH76 Kala. She was not there earlier.

She is now at her zen area getting hit by the big waves washing over the area. At times she rolled over, gained some momentum and bears down.  When the sets came through she just stayed in one spot, then moved to her usual spot to sleep.  Hopefully she'll be heading to Rabbit Island to safely give birth.

They had a short day today. They spent the morning looking in all the usual places, but was coming up empty.  Then they finally spotted a seal. It was RM31 Kai, he was alone resting on shore.

They spent some time watching the surfers, saw some goats and some driftwood structures.

Team R&B called it a day after being in the rain all day. I think we are all over the wet weather.

Marilyn was finally able to make it out to the pier today. She viewed Rabbit Island from 12:16 to 2:43 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.

On the 3BS side of Middle Cliff was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, tan-gray male belly and two tags.

Near the 3BS was a Juvenile Unknown: smaller juvenile size, two tags and unsure of text.

Near the SRI was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, older coat with some green on the tan female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B had a slow start finding any seals this morning. Finally after a couple of hours of looking they finally found a seal on the west side. The seal was hidden but Team R&B know how to spot them. They were able to ID RU40 Wai.

They got a text from a friend of another seal on the west side.  They went looking and sure enough they found Miss Kala RH76.

They kept looking going along their journey and finally noticed a seal on shore. They walked over and saw it was an Adult Female with no tags. The waves were moving her around, so they had to wait until they could get a better view of her. She finally moved and saw that she had a lot of CC scars. That's then they knew it was R604. They were happy to see her since its been a long time. She is looking chubby, not huge but chubby.

They started their day on the west side and was happy to see their little guy N45 Na'au. He was alone high up on shore. There were people who stopped to see him. Team R&B did a lot of educating showing pictures of the little guy.  People asked why no one was feeding him? They explained that he finds his own food along with the face he is protected under the Marine Mammal Protection act as well as the Endangered Species act. Feeding, approaching, bothering him in anyway is against the law.

Team R&B spent about four hours with him and keeping people from approaching.

Also on  the west side they found Miss Kala RH76 resting in her zen space. There was not as much foam as there was yesterday.  They saw a woman come up with a sign that said Parking for Police. She stuck the sign in the rocks and then left.   Team R&B told the janitor about the sign and he saw it. The sign looks new, but one wonders if its suppose to be there, or did she move it from somewhere else?

Next they made their way to plains and found R407 Kawika alone in a

zone  that was set up by the lifeguards. They were really surprised to see the area so clean, not full of debris like the Waianae Coast line. The was was clean too, not brown.  An added bonus was the sun was out and blue skies. They hadn't seen the sun for days.

Lastly they saw the Iwa birds flying in the Kahe area. They have been seeing them the last few days. They were thrilled to see them again today.
