July 31, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:03 to 2:21 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.

Out on the rock flats on the Lanikai side of LPB was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner size, no ingo on sex or tags. Marilyn thinks WU1 was the on that hauled out near RH76 and PO10 on LPB shortly before she left for the day.

RH76 Kala and her pup PO10 were near the LPB channel when Marilyn first arrived. Later they moved up the beach with the pup partially hidden behind mom. Then a weaner hauled out near them and the pup tried crawling over
mom.

On the 3BS of the Middle Cliff was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner size, at least two red tags, light belly, sex unknown.

About 40 feet on the Middle Cliff side of 3BS was an Adult Female: adult size, female belly about 80% molted with the ventral completely

molted and the dorsal about 30% molted. This AF entered the water and disappeared.

At 12:34 pm Marilyn realized that Weaner Unknown 3 had moved up from behind the waterfront rocks down from the 3BS: weaner size, three tags undetermined sex.

Between the 3BS and SRI was a Sub-adult Male: sub0adult size, male belly old coat with lots of green and two red tags

At 1:55 pm Marilyn noticed than a Unknown Unknown hauled out between the SRI and RRB. This might be the AF that disappeared earlier. The UU had at least one tag.

Near the RRB channel was a Juvenile Female: small juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two tags. Marilyn is reasonably sure she's the same JF that she saw in that location on Wednesday.

Team R&B only had one sighting today at the outfall. There were two seals fighting in the water. One is very green with two red tags, the other was larger with one red tag. They were able to ID RP28 Wakea. A friend of theirs happened to be out in the area and saw both tags showing and hot the number. Team R&B couldn't come up with an ID for the larger greener seal with one tag.

Team R&B were treated to the dolphins putting on a show. They were jumping and in a large group. One thing that noted is their Ohana, they stick together all the time and disappear at the same time.

In spite of looking they were thrilled to finally find one seal.  It was RT06 aka Da Marvin per Lifeguards.

Team R&B think he might start his molt sometime soon, looking quite green. He seems tired too. 

When they got to plains one of the lifeguards told them that Tower One had collapsed a couple of days ago. There were three guys in it at that time.  Hopefully they are all okay.

It will probably take some time to get a new one.

Marilyn took a chance and headed over to the pier to view Rabbit Island. She viewed from 11:58 to 2:09 pm and there were nine seals seen during that time. 

Weaner Unknown 1: hauled out on the Lanikai side of LPB at 12:45 pm. Larger weaner to juvenile size, at least two tags, light belly, not sure of sex.

Just as Marilyn started viewing RH76 Kala and PO13 hauled out of

the LPB channel and moved up the beach. They then went into snooze mode. Marilyn did not see any nursing, pup appears to be growing normally.

At 1:45 pm an Adult Female showed up about 60 feet Lanikai side of  the Middle Cliff. The AF is small adult size, female belly about 40% molted, did not knowingly see tags. IT is possible this is MO3 doing her post weaning molt. (mystery mom).

On the 3BS side of Middle Cliff beach was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner size, probably three tags, light belly, but Marilyn couldn't determine sex. If WU2 has 3 tags then this is RV50 or RV68.

Down from the 3BS were two seals:

Weaner Female: weaner size, newer coat, light female belly and probably three tags.

Nearby was a Sun-adult Unknown: large juvenile to small sub-adult size, old coat with lots of green, at least one and probably two tags.

Between the 3BS and SRI channel was a Sub-adult to adult size male, old coat with lots of green, male belly and two tags.

Out on RRB was a Juvenile Female: small  juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, two tags.

Team R&B went out and it was a hot day. After searching for seals and coming up empty they just spent the time watching the beauty around them. They saw an Iwa bird flying low, it came towards them as if it looked right at them. Perhaps a sign.

They thought there was a rescue in process but it was HFD practicing at sea. 

Even the lifeguard asked them where are all the seals? One day there's three next day one then none. They'll be back.
