August 3, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:24 to 2:48 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Out on the rock flats on the Lanikai side of the island was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner size, at least two red tags, light (maybe female) belly. There may be a  bleach number on the left side RV50 does have a N81 bleach.

Near the LPB channel was RH76 Kala and PO13. Kala and pup did swim in  the LPB channel for an extended time and then hauled out

and the pup nursed. At one point Marilyn could see the milk coming out of the pup's nose. Both seem to be doing fine.

On the 1BS side of LPB was an Adult Female 1: adult size old darker coat, female belly and at least on and probably two tags.

At 1:51 pm, Weaner Unknown 2 hauled out of the SRI side of the 3BS. W/U2 had at least one and probably two tags and light belly (male?)

About 35 feet on the Lanikai side of the SRI channel was a Sub-adult

Female: sub-adult size, older coat, just starting to molt (about 20%) on the upper chest, and at least one tag and probably two.

Closest to the SRI channel was Adult Female 2: adult size, new coat two red tags.

Later both SF and AF2 hauled out onto the beach.

When Marilyn got back to her car she saw from afar a seal. So on the way out she stopped on the side of the road and viewed the seal from 3:16 to 3:42 pm.

Initially Marilyn thought the seal to be a Juvenile Unknown. She did not see the ventral and no apparent tags.  The seal  has a slight scar on the middle side of its left nostril.  Marilyn later was told the seal is a weaner although there is no identification as to which weaner.

Team R&B checked out the west side. They found RP28 Wakea and he was alone. He entered the water and they thought he left but he was just cooling off because he landed again.  He didn't show his mouth enough to see if the hook was still there.

Over by the outfall they spotted an Adult seal foraging. They never got a good shot of its hind flippers for tags. There seemed  to have a small scar on its head. 

Once again they watched the dolphins doing what they do best.

Last stop was at plains. When they arrived they saw the signs up by Tower 1 and there was Marvin RT06 snoozing. He flipped over to the right then to the left. They wonder if he'll start his molt soon.

RT06 remained on shore in a nice zone ser up for him and has quite the fan club.

August 2, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn only viewed Rabbit Island for a short time, between 11:41 am to 12:20 pm. There were six seals seen during that time.

Up from the LPB channel were RH76 Kala and PO13 who turned four weeks this past Saturday. Marilyn never got a full view of PO13 but it appears to be adding more pounds daily. Mom still looks plump and healthy.

About on-third of the way between the 1BS and the 2BS among the waterfront rocks was a Weaner Male: weaner size, light belly,probably male, and no info in the tags. The weaner was in the same position during Marilyn's viewing session.

Starting 40 feet on the Lanikai side of the SRI channel were three seals. They all moved next to the channel while Marilyn was there.

R7AF: adult size, old coat, male belly, two tags and applied N61 bleach.

Unknown Weaner: weaner size, two red tags, light belly but undetermined sex.

Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult to small adult size, old coat with lots of green no info on tags.

The S/U was the first to move toward the LPB channel. then the weaner followed and then later R7AF. There was some interaction between between 7AF and the SU before they all went into snooze mode.

Team R&B were on the west side when they saw a couple of mocking birds.  They also found RP28 Wakea alone and resting. They watched him for a bit and realized he is hooked again. The hook is on the left side of his mouth, about a 1 1/2 inch hook that is visible, no line trailing. The last time he was hookedwas June.

Over a the outfall they spotted an Unknown Adult foraging. They could not make out any identifiable markings to help, other than an older coat with lots of green. 

They couldn't pass by the dolphins doing what they do best. They spent some time watching these amazing critters.

Next they headed over to plains and found RT06 Marvin in a big zone set up for him. They learned today that it was actually the son of  lifeguard that passed, who named him Marvin after his dad. Touching!

Marvin RT06 was chilling and resting peacefully. He had just hauled in after eating a fish just off shore.

They believe he's preparing to molt soon.
