September 24, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

They started their day on the very hot west side. Thankfully there were some breezes to help but the heat was almost unbearable, not enough to stop Team R&B.
Their first find at the zen was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. Earlier a friend showed them a man near two seals resting. The male sea lRM31 Kai  postured a bit but Kala just laid there. Team R&B believe both Kala & Kai are due to molt any day now.
Team R&B briefly left the area to check another spot, when they returned there were 5 tourists. Once of them climbed down closer to the seals. Team R&B made their way down to see that Kala was very alert.

From afar they saw two seals with a paddle boarder who was aware of the seals. They hurried out to the site and spotted a green male who was arguing with a seal with a clean coat and a tag. They realized Mr.
green seal is R3CX Nalu. His natural bleach on the left of his face was visible and made it easy for the ID. The other seal was the lovely Lei Ola RH48.  They missed all the commotion of them being high up on the surface, putting on a show. Both separated then he found her and it began again. At one point the seals were near the jetty and there were two tourist in the water.

Next they checked over by the outfall, and it took a long time before they spotted a seal. There was one seal foraging further out and they couldn't make an ID. They could see it had a lot of green on its coat, but they know its not R3CX. It was reported as an Unknown Adult.

September 23, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:46 to 2:56 pm and there were five seals seen during that tim.
On the middle of LPB were two seals:
Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, old coat with lots of green, female belly, no info on tags.
Juvenile Unknown 1: juvenile size, lighter ventral, no info on tags or sex.
Initially on the 1BS side of LPB was weaner RV76: recent weaner size, female belly and two red tags. At 12:51 pm she moved into the water. At 2:14 pm Marilyn found RV76 on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB. She was belly up and her female belly visible and at one point her tags.
On the rock flats on the Makapuu side of the SRI channel was an Adult Male: adult size, old coat with some green, make belly and no info on tags.
At 2:44 pm, a Juvenile Unknown 2 hauled out on the back Lanikai side of LPB. UJ2: juvenile size, no info on tags or sex.

Team R&B started their busy day on the west side. Their first sighting were two seals together. Well it seems Miss Kala RH76 had found a new partner because today she was with RM31 Kai. Wonder what happened to R617?

Over by rest camp they spotted a couple of seals foraging. With much persistence they were able to ID two lovely ladies. Miss RH48 LEi Ola and RL12 Aukai. Getting the ID shots is a challenge when the seals are foraging.

From afar they spotted a seal hauling up at tracks. A group of fans immediately came over. They could see the seal reacting by barking, posturing and leaving. The seal had a lot of green and they think it was a male. They reported it as an Unknown Male.

September 22, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

They had another busy day today. Their first find was Miss Kala and Mr. R617 at the zen. The two of them looking quite peaceful. Waves were hitting them but just enough to wiggle their bodies like jello.  
A masked boobie flew by while they were watching over Kala and R617.

Over by the rest camp side they looked out over over the ocean for
quite awhile watching three seals. They know one of them was RM31 Kai, with lots of green on his coat and dark eyes. The other adult seal was RH48 Lei Ola. But then there was a smaller clean coated seal with the two adults. They couldn't make an ID so it was reported as an Unknown Sub-adult.

Over by the outfall there were two seals foraging. And once again getting IDs was a problem. One was an adult with lots of green, and the other was an adult with a clean coat.

Back on the west side they saw RP30 Puka. They had seen him a few days ago when he started his molt. Today he is about 85% into his molt. He's going to look really handsome when he's done. They were happy to find a seal on shore and not in the water for a change, not to mention making an ID.
