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

On the west side once again they found Miss Kala RH76. She still hiding from the males, getting her rest. Nothing new to report on this lovely female seal from Rabbit Island.

At another west side location they found RN14 Kalani on the rocks. The boys certainly keep Team R&B on their toes. He started to vocalize so they weren't sure if there was another seal.  No... just three people on the rocks to the right. RN14 took off and went around and was going to land again but there were people there. Last seen he was heading towards the outfall.
From afar they saw a big seal trying to haul up on shore at tracks. They thought this could be RN14 but couldn't be sure. Immediately a group of people went to check out the seal.

Next they headed over to plains. Upon arrival they saw a seal on shore with a nice zone set up. The seal is very green and they were able to ID R416 Makalii. He looks like he'll molt soon.

They got word from posse pal Carol that a seal hauled out on the west side. Off they went and found Kawika R407. He was alone, chilling high up on shore. It was nice there were no people around, and he could rest peacefully.

They got a disturbing video from a friend of a black pit bull going after a monk seal on shore. They immediately went down not knowing when the incident
happened or who the seal was. In the video they could see the seal was newly molted, and not too big. 
Upon arrival the seal on shore was RP28 Wakea.  They went to the area where the dog approached the seal and saw the wallow high up on shore by the houses, then a seal trail going away from the homes. Seems RP28 traveled on shore for about 30 feet.  They checked him out there was no blood, no teeth marks and he seemed relaxed.  They believe the video was taken down. What sounded like a close call turned out to be okay.

Lastly they found a seal at cliffs. The seal was alone on the rocks resting. It was difficult to see, but it was an adult, newly molted no tags seen as the seal didn't move. They believe this could be RL42 Leia

October 19, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:19 to 2:24 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.
At the back Lanikai side of LPB was RV76: large weaner size, light yellow female belly, no info on tags.
On the berm in the middle of LPB was R7AF: adult size, male belly, about 40% molted on the ventral and two red tags.
About 50 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS was RK24 Bruno: adult size, male belly, about 50% molted on the ventral and sloppy fur on the dorsal, two red tags.
Down from the 3BS was Juvenile Female 1: small juvenile size, old coat, very green, female belly and two red tags.
Between the 3BS and SRI were two seals:
Juvenile Female 2: larger juvenile size, tan-gray ventral, female belly  and two red tags. and
RV50: weaner size, female belly and three red tags.

Team R&B once again found Miss Kala RH76 on the west side. She was alone resting.
On an afternoon check she was sound a sleep, but a woman was right behind her. Kala moved to the zen pond in a hurry. All was good, lady checked Kala out and then she left.

At Kahe they saw a seal coming up on the rocks. The seal was a big
bugga, bumps on left back and tags. They were thrilled to see Kekoa Alii RK72 born in June 2011. They haven't seen him in a long time, and was happy to see him looking good. They waited around to see if another seal would show up but Kekoa was the only seal. While waiting a cute plover who just hung out close by was there keeping them company. And then there were the dolphins doing their thing.

On the west side their first find was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She moved down some but still in the rocks.  Some fishers came by, one of them caught a big Papio. The fish was huge and the fisher was trying to pick it up but the fish fell into a pond by Kala. She was very alert to them, as they tried to capture the fish again, but the waves came in and the fish swam away. Kala wasn't happy with the guys so close, but she stayed in her spot and they guys left.

Still on the west side they saw a seal foraging, they were able to ID RH48 Lei Ola and she was in a hurry. So much so she disappeared that quickly. Sure enough there was another seal, it came around. They saw it had a cc scar,  which led them to believe this is RG28 Lefty.  They saw folks pointing, so they went to check and there was RG28 hauling up near the zen area. But then he turned around and left. 

At Kahe they found the large green seal again. Today they made a positive ID on Kalani RN14. He was alone resting peacefully. They couldn't believe how big he is. He and Kaale used to be best buds for years until they both grew up and discovered females. They also got to enjoy a couple of dolphins having fun as usual. 

Next they headed over to plains and found the lovely, big Huakai KG89. She was on shore by the lifeguards. She barely moved to get a good look at her tags, but it was her.
