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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:18 to 2:22 pm and there were six or seven seals seen during that time.

Initially on LPB near the LPB channel were two seals:

Adult Male: adult size, old coat, male, two red tags and a small white nb near the penial hole. 

RK24 Bruno: adult size, male belly, starting to molt on the chest (10-15%), small scar on right rear side.

At 1:27 pm a Sub-adult Female 1 had joined the two males. She later moved in the Lanikai direction and was mostly hidden behind waterfront rocks.

On the waterfront rocks between Middle Cliff and 3BS was a Weaner Unknown: larger weaner size, light belly, at least two red tags, sex unknown.

About 50 feet on the Makapuu side of the 3BS were two seals:

Smaller weaner possibly RV50: older weaner size, female belly and three red tags.

Nearby was a Juvenile Female: large juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.

At the SRI channel was Sub-adult Female 2: sub-adult size, new coat, light female belly, not sure about tags. She disappeared down the channel at 12:58 pm and was not seen again. It is possible that she relocated and was the seal ID'd as SF1. However Marilyn thought she saw a seal mostly hidden in the rock flats near LPB when SF2 was at the SRI channel.

Team R&B searched the west side carefully looking for Miss Kala who was no where to be found, there were no seals around. They sat saying how they will miss seeing Miss Kala and then lo and behold they spotted a seal hidden in the rocks. It didn't look like Kala, as the seal was so dry. Just then the chanters came and the seal moved some, looking at the guys from below. It was Miss Kala RH76, which made Team R&B very happy.

Over by the outfall they saw two adult seals foraging and fighting. They assumed one was a female, who had a clean coat with a red tag, but they couldn't make the out the tag number so no ID.

The other was greenish and this seal kept after the clean seal male behavior. Wherever she went she went and chased her about. There is no ID on the greenish seal.

Next stop was to check on R407 Kawika, where he has been for at least two weeks. They didn't see him, they thought for sure he was gone. Then they saw him in the water and he hauled up and went to sleep.

He is looking healthy and handsome and they got to see him for another day.

Lastly on their way home by the cliffs they saw a truck at a stop. They thought they must be looking at something.....  a seal. They walked over to see it was RP30 Puka. He was sleeping on the rocks and seemed just fine, looking good in his new coat. His scar looks bigger than RL42, but on the same right side. And his scar looks to be lower than hers.

Out on the west side their first find was Miss Kala RH76. She was alone at the zen pond. While watching over her they spotted another seal coming in. It was R617, who galumphed all the way up to Kala. Too bad so sad she wanted nothing to do with him.

Still on the west side they spotted an adult seal foraging. The seal had a clean coat, lots of scars and one tag. They determined it was Lei Ola RH48. They did not see her land while they were there.

Over by rest camp they saw a little green seal with an applied bleach N50. Its RV20 on shore with a
zone set up for him. He was a star, all the maintenance people were excited to see such a young seal. Team R&B took the time and told them about him.  They met up with a woman from the mainland who they been talking with about the seals. She told them she wanted to contact them as soon as she saw RV20. She leaves tomorrow... Mahalo Janet for caring.

Team R&B got a text about a seal onshore at plains. They headed over and when they arrived they were happy to see KG89 Huakai. She is looking good, no new markers. She

is the one seal that can take big hits from the waves. They waited for her to turn and haul up but she stayed where she was.

Their last seal of the day was Kawika R407. He was on shore with his plover buddy.  Then R407 turned and hauled up higher on shore. There were two homeless guys, so Team R&B stuck around and so did they. R407 remained undisturbed, and Team R&B were happy to spend more time with him.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:03 to 2:16 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time. 

There were up to six seals on the rock flats and nearby beach they moved around a lot so the IDs may be confused.

Furthest out on LPB rock flats was R430 (formerly TempN25): large sub-adult to adult size, old coat, male belly, green ventral and several darker patches and a pit scar at the base of the LFF. 

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

bleach on rear right side.

RK24 Bruno: adult size, old coat, two tags, male belly, Marilyn did not see his N32 applied bleach today. 

At least two other Adult Males (AM1 and AM2): adult size, old coat, red tags. 

Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, new coat. female belly; did not see tags.

Juvenile Female: large juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, and green around the eyes.

At 12:12 pm, weaner RV76 hauled out of the LPB channel onto LPB: recent weaner size, female belly and two red tags.

At 12:49 pm R430 hauled out to RV76 and five minutes later both seals disappeared, presumably entered the water.

At 1:45 pm Marilyn became aware that RV76 hauled out again at Middle Cliff, She was still there through the rest of the viewing session.

Alone on the rock flats between SRI and RRB was a Juvenile Unknown: larger juvenile size, probably an older coat, no info on tags or sex. 

Team R&B first find was the lovely Miss Kala RH76 on the west side. She was resting when the same man who has approached her several times showed up. Team R&B have spoken to him many times he just does the same thing over and over.  Thankfully Kala moved to her pond.

They did get to see some dolphins for a little bit doing what they do best. Then there were the boobies fighting for a spot on the buoy.

Team R&B took a chance to see if R407 Kawika would still be at Nimitz. It paid off because there he was snoozing away.  When he got hit by the waves, he moved up.  His plover buddy was late but finally arrived.
