July 9, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:33 to 2:23 om and there was a lot of movement on island so there were either nine or ten seals.

There was a Sub-adult Male: subadult to adult size, light yellow male belly with some green, older coat and dark patches below the eyes and two red tags. This male was in the same location throughout Marilyn's viewing session.

Early on there was a Weaner Unknown just off the LPB and onto the rocks. The WU soon disappeared and may be the same WU that came back much later.

Also when Marilyn started viewing there was a Sub-adult Female: large juvenile to small sub-adult size,, new coat, light gray female belly and two red tags.

On the 1BS side of the LPB was RH76 Kala and her pup PO13. The pup was briefly in form of mom near her head, but then galumphed behind mom and was hidden the rest of the time.

At 1:47 pm two seals hauled out to the middle of LPB from the LPB channel: on of these seals was a Sub-adult Unknown and the other was an Unknown Unknown. The SU had a darker dorsal coat and a yellow-brownish ventral no info on sex or tags.

The UU was of undetermined size and covered with sand. No info on size, sex or tags.

Between Middle Cliff and 3BS was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner size, at least two tags and lighter covered belly. 

Out on rock flats between the SRI and RRB was recent weaner PO10:

recent weaner size, dark dorsal, light ventral,  and no tags. The weaner moved near the water and slept belly up for sometime, but later moved back towards the cliff.

On RRB was another Weaner Unknown labled WU3: weaner size, at least two tags, light belly.

Day 26 for PO11 and Rocky When Team R&B arrived they were swimming close together. Rocky made her way onto the rocks, slowly lifting her body with her big old flippers. Her head lifts high and gets a big boost to land. Ta Da!  PO11 made it up okay, and she nursed for

about 20 minutes. Then a snooze, but not for long. The rising tide caused the waved slap Mom and Pup and PO11 washed off. Mom looked intently barks at pup.

They both swam all the way past driftwoods. PO11 explored as usual, fat little busy body. Picked up a little rock and tossed it.

They were close to land but mom let the pup play, then she barked and PO11 followed her to shore, biting on mom's body. ouch!

Rocky is such an extraordinary Mom, she takes good care of the little one even when she is tired. 

Everyone was good today. Team R&B had a shovel to dig holes for signs. People pitched in to help!

Lots of tourist came and left to visit the pup.

People love swimming in the ponds for their kids, but for now they have to be blocked off for Momma Rocky and PO11.

Checking out the west side, Team R&B spotted two adults on shore way out near the rocks. They walked out about a mile. The bushes were really tall and thick so they made it quick. The two seals, one

male with two red tags, the female might be KG54.  Then they heard dogs barking and left before they came to the area.

They got word of another seal on the west side. They found RU04 looking green and okay. Thank goodness they tags was showing.

July 8, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:34 to 2:36 pm and there were nine seals seen during that time.

At the back Lanikai side of LPB were two to three seals:

Sub-adult Unknown 1: sub-adult size, older coat with some green, no info on tags or sex.

Sub-adult Unknown 2: sub-adult size, new coat, no info on tags or sex.

Weaner Unknown: weaner size, light gray coat, no info on tags or sex.

About 40 feet Lanikai side of 1BS were Kala RH76 and PO13. The pup wandered toward and into the water twice during Marilyn's viewing session. The pup vocalized several times and appeared to try to get mom into the water, instead mom moved up the beach and PO13 ultimately followed.

Soon after Marilyn started viewing, what she believes to be PO10 hauled out between the 1BS and 2BS. Small recent weaner size and shape, lighter belly, unsure of its sex and no tags. 

On the 3BS side of the middle cliff area was a Weaner Male: weaner size, male ventral and at least two red tags.

Almost directly down from the 3BS was a Juvenile Female: small juvenile size, older coat with some green, female belly and two red tags.

Out between the SRI and RRB was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, older coat, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B arrived at the pup site to find Rocky and PO11 in the water exploring. Momma Rocky galumphed up in the rocks but PO11 couldn't make it. Mom kept barking at the kid. PO11 then moved away and mom got nervous still

barking and then entering water to greet PO11.  Today PO11 is 25 days old.

They both made their way to the birth fence, on the outside. There was a nursing session and then snoozed. 

Pup awoke, but mom was snoring, so the pup moved up to mom for another feed. Mom didn't move so the pup slept along side her for awhile. Then at 11:40 that the pup woke mom up. They both entered the water and went exploring. Rocky then took PO11 past the driftwood side and kept going. Team R&B were hoping the folks

would get out of the ponds. It's the rocky spot to nurse, but finally the volunteer got the people out of the water and began to move the ropes and signs. Mom and pup were looking but didn't land. The volunteer opened the site where mom and pup nursed in the am. People went over swimming and laying in the area with their dogs. 

Rocky and PO11 never landed while they were there, mom and pup just floated in the shallows. The pup was actually upside down like an adult snoozing. Too cute. 

At one point during the day another smaller seal swam to the area, looking around but kept going. Team R&B asked the fishers at the cove if the seal came by. They said it did, ate in the school of fish and then moved on. They mentioned it wasn't a big seal.
