August 4, 2024 Tuesdays Dailies

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

Their first find on the west side was RP28 Wakea. He was resting alone and is still hooked. They could see the shank part and the little line that was on the shank is gone. He appears to be okay.

They also saw an Adult Unknown with lots of green again. They couldn't make an ID and the photos didn't help. U/A was foraging off Kahe by the dolphin boats.

On their way to an appointment they made a quick stop at plains. There was RT06 Marvin, playing with a a small coconut, pushing it about. They checked and didn't see any sign of a molt yet.

On their way home they spotted a seal from afar. So of course they went  and checked it out. To their surprise this seal was molting and they ID'd RT98. There were lots of footprints around her,  but all was good while they were there.

They spotted on last seal on the rocks, they could see a tag but wasn't sure who it was. Then they noted the scar on right side, and the seal moved but went into the pond to cool off. They believe this is RL20 Kalua who is very green.

August 3, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:24 to 2:48 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Out on the rock flats on the Lanikai side of the island was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner size, at least two red tags, light (maybe female) belly. There may be a  bleach number on the left side RV50 does have a N81 bleach.

Near the LPB channel was RH76 Kala and PO13. Kala and pup did swim in  the LPB channel for an extended time and then hauled out

and the pup nursed. At one point Marilyn could see the milk coming out of the pup's nose. Both seem to be doing fine.

On the 1BS side of LPB was an Adult Female 1: adult size old darker coat, female belly and at least on and probably two tags.

At 1:51 pm, Weaner Unknown 2 hauled out of the SRI side of the 3BS. W/U2 had at least one and probably two tags and light belly (male?)

About 35 feet on the Lanikai side of the SRI channel was a Sub-adult

Female: sub-adult size, older coat, just starting to molt (about 20%) on the upper chest, and at least one tag and probably two.

Closest to the SRI channel was Adult Female 2: adult size, new coat two red tags.

Later both SF and AF2 hauled out onto the beach.

When Marilyn got back to her car she saw from afar a seal. So on the way out she stopped on the side of the road and viewed the seal from 3:16 to 3:42 pm.

Initially Marilyn thought the seal to be a Juvenile Unknown. She did not see the ventral and no apparent tags.  The seal  has a slight scar on the middle side of its left nostril.  Marilyn later was told the seal is a weaner although there is no identification as to which weaner.

Team R&B checked out the west side. They found RP28 Wakea and he was alone. He entered the water and they thought he left but he was just cooling off because he landed again.  He didn't show his mouth enough to see if the hook was still there.

Over by the outfall they spotted an Adult seal foraging. They never got a good shot of its hind flippers for tags. There seemed  to have a small scar on its head. 

Once again they watched the dolphins doing what they do best.

Last stop was at plains. When they arrived they saw the signs up by Tower 1 and there was Marvin RT06 snoozing. He flipped over to the right then to the left. They wonder if he'll start his molt soon.

RT06 remained on shore in a nice zone ser up for him and has quite the fan club.
