February 22, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:47 to 12:15 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.
Back against the cliff behind RRB was Juvenile Unknown 1: juvenile size, brownish coat, no info on sex or tags. 
Against the cliff between middle cliff and 3BS was Juvenile Unknown 2: juvenile size, yellow ventral, not sure about sex, older coat and no info on tags.

Team R&B started their day on the west side where they went looking for N45. When they arrived theyheard some commotion and there were kids yelling. When they looked they realized there was seal on the rocks right where everyone walks and jumps off the rocks.  The seal was RS32, who was upset and kept leaping at the kids passing by. Finally the neighbor let the kids go through his yard and RS32 remained.

They were searching what seemed like forever for N45 aka Temp 402.
They texted some friends who spotted a seal but Team R&B didn't see it. Then they decided to drive over to the area and there he was. 
N45 was where the Buffalo Surg meet was going on. There were tons of people, cheering and walking by little N45. At one point the announcer said " Stay away from the seal, 50 feet or you could get a fine"
Team R&B did their best to keep people back, One woman asked why the lifeguards don't put anything up.  They had asked the other day and was told no. N45 managed to rest in spite of the crowd and noise. Finally after yelling out, the lifeguard finally put up signs for RIP Currents with yellow tape and two orange flags.  Team R&B extended their gratitude.

In addition they found two other seals at a different location. R416 was to the right of the waterfront rocks . The other seal was RG32.

From afar they saw two seals at electric beach. One was an Adult Male, and the other was an Unknown adult. They couldn't make any IDs, plus there were so many people out on the beach.

They made their way out to Plains. There were two seals in two different locations
First seal was RL12 Aukai. She was at the fence line. The other seal was R407 and he was by the surf shack..

Seriously above and beyond going out there on a day like today.

They were out there in the rain and wasn't finding anything. Then they got a text from a woman who they met and she saw two seals and sent them a photo. It was N45 with a large seal with tags.
By the time they made it out with the rain and traffic they spotted one seal alone. There he was N45 fast asleep. He was not in his usual spot. Team R&B stayed for a little bit. 
Then they met up with a man they met last week that was heading to the beach. They told him of N45, and he said he would go and tell all the braddahs to leave the poor seal alone.
They left the area and did go back for a recheck. N45 was still on shore alone. It would be nice if hecould find a spot where people don't gather and no dogs to bug him. 
They were chatting with two guys who asked if they were taking photos of the small seal. They then told Team R&B they saw a huge seal and gave them the location. When Team R&B arrived they were surprised and thrilled to see RL42 Leia. She was doing her best to hide in the rocks.

Team R&B headed out to other spots to check. From afar they spotted an adult male on shore, but they couldn't tell who it was. As they were taking photos they saw
movement next to him There was another seal next to him but he was pretty much blocking it. He was reported as an Unknown Male and the other as an Unknown Adult.

Last stop at Kahe searching the area. They heard seals barking, vocalizing. They hurried to look over the seal was in the water and they really couldn't determine any  information. Reported as another Unknown Adult. 
It was time for them to go home and get dry!

February 20, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

They started their day as they have searching for N45 aka Temp 402. When they arrived at their first stop they were thrilled to find both N45 with RU40 aka Wai. They were together sleeping in the morning. As the day went on first N45 moved down the beach and then U40 followed.  There was no action just snoozing.
N45 went to his little pond, head in the water, body on sand. U40 never entered the water, and it was overcast so it rained twice.
Team R&B put up the sticks to make a path for any visitors that might come. Over the five hours there were 25 people and one dog at the end.  Team R&B noted that N45 seems better although he's still skinny, but better. 
At another west side stop they found three seals.  First there was RH76 Kala resting on the rocks. This girl is looking mighty big! To her left was RW02 PvKauai.  They didn't know who the third seal was, other than it was smaller than both RW02 & Kala. They reported it as an Unknown Sub-adult.

And you just never know what Team R&B are going to come across on their journeys. Todays critter was an old goat high up on the rocks!

February 19, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:23 to 1:26 and there were two seals seen during that time.
Initially near the SRI surge channel entrance was a Sub-adult Male: small sub-adult size, yellow male belly and two red tags. Later the SM moved up the cliff.
Far out on RRB was a Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult size, older coat, two red tags and no info on sex.

Team R&B started their day finding N45 aka Temp 402. He was alone and fast asleep. After about 45
minutes went by on this windy day, they prepared the sticks to set up a zone. N45 woke up and something caught his attention. He scurried out on the sand.  Much to Team R&B's surprise there was another seal sleeping up near the rocks.  It was RU40 and the two of them stayed together for the day.
A volunteer came out for about an hour, no signs were put up, just the sticks Team R&B set up. At the end of the day the two were together until people had to walk by. TU40 wasn't happy, he scurried right and left, barking making his way to the water.  
N45 stayed by the wall for the night.

After checking the area they found another seal. IT was RS32 , she was resting on shore. She was in the company of a little little turtle.

The only other sighting was a seal foraging off the outfall. They didn't have enough to go on for an ID so it was reported as an Unknown Adult.
