Yesterday's news Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:36 am to 1:48 pm and there were seven seals seen on island.

Alone on LPB was Weaner Female 1: weaner size, light female belly and at least two tags. She started out on the berm, but later moved close to the waterfront rocks near the LPB channel.

About 40 feet on the 3BS side of middle cliff were two seals near the waterfront rocks:

Adult Unknown 1: adult size, newish dark dorsal coat, no info on sexor tags.

Nearby was Adult Unknown 2: adult size, newish coat, no info on sex or tags.

On shore a shore distance Kailua side of the 3BS was weaner RV76: larger weaner size, light yellow female belly, did not see tags.

A short distance on the SRI side of the 3BS was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, female belly, old coat, with lots of green and two red tags.

Between the 3BS and SRI were two seals:

Weaner Female 2: weaner size, yellowish female belly, and at least two red tags.

Adult Unknown 3: adult size, newer coat, not sure of sex, two red tags.

Team R&B started their day on the west side. They found RV20 on shore high up with a young woman sitting by him. They watched and took some photos. They went over to her and the woman said she had

to protect the seal from the dogs. Although there weren't any dogs around. So Team R&B asked her to move back from the seal. She took some videos and got Team R&B throwing a shaka. It took a while but she moved on. A volunteer had arrived so they filled the volunteer in and left the area.

Then Team R&B saw a slither of a seal resting at Tracks. They waited for it to move to get an ID. They called it into the hotline and a volunteer came out.  There were two homeless ladies came down from

the camp. The volunteer talked with them, took some photos of the seal and left. As soon as the volunteer left one of the homeless ladies went up to the seal with a watering can. At first Team R&B thought she slapped the seal as the seal reacted, flying its hind flippers in the air and barking at the woman. The lady went down to the water and filled the watering can again, and the seal barked at her leaping and

trying to bite. Then the seal took off, they didn't see where it went.

They called the hotline immediately. Tracks is a terrible place for the seals to rest.  They believe the seal was RP28 Wakea, their shot of its tag wasn't readable.

They had another slow day today. There were big waves, one turtle and Miss Kala RH76. They found Kala after looking for a while, she was well hidden in the rocks. They waited for her to move. Then a "jerk"" came by looking for shells and he got too close to her and started making noises. Kala woke up and looked right at him. Team R&B made themselves visible, he looked over at them, they pointed to Kala he gave the thumbs up but continued to make noises.  After 30 minutes a big

wave came up and consumed the dude. HE came up and said the seal is usually always with another seal. Team R&B gave him the monk seal 101 talk, who knows if it will matter. Finally he left.

They found a turtle climbing up on shore at Makaha due to big surf. They also saw their first whale of the season today. 

Oh and I hope you all had some good tricks or treats today.

Marilyn got a call shortly before 5 pm that there was a small Hawaiian Monk Seal hauled out on the east side.  She headed over and found the most recent Oahu weaner RV92, RJ30 Wailea's 20226 male pup. At first he was snoozing but about 25 minutes later he started moving towards the water. He found a small rectangular piece of paper or plastic with which he had fun playing. Then he headed out and Marilyn lost track of him. He looks healthy and appears to behaving normally. Marilyn saw both his V92 and V93 tags.

Team R&B saw Wakea RP28 from afar at Makaha. He was alone high up on shore.  When they looked later there was a man on shore by the bushes and by the time they got to the site RP28 was gone.

They did get to enjoy dolphins way out by the boats that were following them around.

Next they got a text of a seal on shore at plains. They headed over and

found R407 Kawika again, enjoying his rest by the cabins.

While there they watched a group of men trying to bring back the old Tower One after being repaired.

Way down to the Honolulu end of plains they found another seals. It was KG89 in her own zone. 

They also got a couple of great pictures of the waves.

Despite spending all day looking at all the usual spots they only saw one seal today. On the west side there was RP28 Wakea. He galumphed up to home, by the time Team R&B go to the area he had moved away from his den. He also seemed very alert, someone visited him. There were prints right up to his location.

Along with RP28 Team R&B got to enjoy the dolphins doing what they do best, having fun.
