June 3, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 2:27 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Near the LPB surge channel were three weaners. Marilyn did not see enough to be able to tell which weaner was which.

MO10 and PO10 were between the 3BS and SRI, closer to the former. Marilyn thinks MO10 has a lower rear left side natural bleach, so this might be RK37. Marilyn saw two nursing sessions by PO10. Mom and pup were hassled by an Adult Male who showed up at 1:50 pm.

After hassling the mom and pup he moved closer to the SRI channel where he hassled the Sub-adult Female and then back to hassle the mom and pup.

The SF was sub-adult size, female belly, two red tags and lots of green in her coat. She did not appreciate the attention of the Adult Male.

The AM was adult size, male belly and at least and probably two red tags. Marilyn thinks this is the same AM that has been around the last few days.

Out on the west side Team R&B had another slow day. At one location they were checking things out and looking around. They saw a green rock and thought they hadn't seen

that rock there before. Suddenly they see kids near the rock/seal.... it was a small seal. It took them a little bit to get to the area where the seal was. And it was hot out there today. They called some friends to come and help, unfortunately they weren't able to stay. Team R&B build a stick zone around RU22 the little girl from Molokai. They did their best to keep people away. They heard from the lifeguard that a seal was there, and they let him know they were on site. They asked if a lifeguard could put out some cones. Which they did. As Team R&B were leaving they saw DLNR had showed up. They weren't able to go back and called it a day.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:03 to 2:00 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.

Up on LPB and partially hidden was one of the weaners, Marilyn thinks it was PO3. The weaner ultimately moved up to the berm at about 12:45 PM and then disappeared into the water. About 20 minutes later, the same seal hauled out down from the 1BS. Again Marilyn thinks it was PO3. The seal moved up to the berm and was still there when Marilyn left about 2 pm. Marilyn noted that she did

not knowingly see PO5.

In the Middle Cliff area was what Marilyn believes to be PO4. PO4 moved up between some rocks in the Middle Cliff channel area and later moved a short distance further up. The seals Allflex tag was visible.

Initially behind waterfront rocks between the 3BS and SRI channel was MO10 and her pup PO10. At one point PO10 moved a considerable distance away from Mom and then vocalized and moved back to her. Later they hauled out and moved up the beach where

PO10 continued to roll on its side and back. Marilyn saw one nursing session.

Just back of the SRI channel were an Adult Male and Sub-adult Female. They were near each other for a time, then moved nearer the water and then moved back up the beach and further apart. The AM has a light male belly and at least one red tag. The SF has an old coat with lots of green, a female belly and two red tags. The SF seems short and pudgy.

Team R&B searched the west side and had a very slow seal day. They

only saw one seal in the water and it hauled up at the zen area. It was the beautiful little RU12. They watched her come in getting hit by the waves, but she fought her way up on the rocks and went to sleep. They were pretty happy to see her and noted her white nails on the right.

To keep themselves from being bored they watched the dolphins and boobies.  Not too shabby but I know they miss all their seal buddies.

June 1, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

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

When Marilyn started viewing weaners PO3 and PO5 were in the channel on the Lanikai side of LPB. Later both seals moved up the beach, and were mostly in snooze mode. Marilyn did see PO5's ventral, but never saw PO3's belly. Both weaners seem to be doing fine.  

At 1:09, new weaner PO4 hauled out in the middle cliff area. His Allflex tag on his RRF was readily visible. PO4 move up later, but never showed his ventral.

When Marilyn started viewing MO10 and her pup PO10 were near the SRI channel with an Adult Male pestering them. Then the adult male left and relocated to where a sub-adult female was resting. The AM returned to MO10 and PO10 before moving back towards the SF. Marilyn saw several brief nursing sessions between MO10 and PO10. The SF is chunky and has an older coat with lots of green; she has two red tags.

Team R&B started out on the west side. At their first stop they got word of Miss Kala RH76 had just hauled out. She was pretty much hidden, but they knew it was their fat girl Kala. She is laying low staying away from those persistent males.

They stopped at kahe and found Mr. Kalua RL20 alone resting where Ka'ale used to sleep. It's sad to think he won't be around any more.

RL20 seemed alert as if there was a visitor. Team R&B stayed to see, and sure enough they heard a roar and saw a seal heading to tracks. They thought possibly RL12.

Then another seal flew by going in the same direction, only this one had a cc scar on its butt area then it dove down. They had a feeling it was RG28 or L08. Both seals never landed while they were there.

Later they rechecked Kalua RL20 and he had moved more inland. It was harder to see him.

They decided to check out paradise cove. When they got there they saw some signs were out and there were a couple of ladies keeping watch. They were not volunteers just good Samaritans.

The seal was resting, it was a big robust seal with no tags. They

discovered it was the seal with the injury on its head from last week.

The wound has healed, just above the left eye area. This is a clean seal, very hard to ID. They believe this seal could be R617.  They thought that before but more now. R617 was resting comfortably. They talked to the lady watching over the seal and she said there was another seal but they had words and left.

After lunch they got word of two seals hanging out around the kahe area, then another text showed a photo of the two seal at the pavilion. 

Team R&B hurried over to find folks really close to the two seals

where the divers go out to snorkel. Needless to say there were lots of people, many who were too close. Then there was a small black dog who ventured over to the seals and sat over on the grass. 

The female seal was RL12 Aukai and the male was RG28 Lefty. He was alert, especially when people walked pass. Team R&B asked who the dog belonged to, the lifeguard said it belonged to the two girls boogie boarding. Ugh!
