06/26/2022 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island today from 12:15 to 2:15 and there were NINE seals on island today. She was joined by Tammy who must of brought all the seals with her. 

Seven seals were all spread out on LPB:
MO6 and PO6 were on the most Lanikai side of LPB. They entered the water twice during Marilyn's observation. They ultimately ended up behind MO7 after they hauled out for the second time. PO6 nursed several times. Both mom and pup O6 seem to be doing just fine.

MO7 and PO7 were next on the beach. PO7 headed for the water once with Mom keeping a close eye on the trip. PO7 got washed some and then galumphed back up to and ultimately behind MO7.

In the middle of LPB was a group of three subadult to adult seals:
S/F: subadult size, lighter female belly with some green and two red tags. In some photos she looked fairly thin, then in others she appeared normal.
A/M: adult to subadult size, dark male belly, unsure about tags. In some photos and while viewing, they thought this seal appeared to have one white nail on it RRF. 
RK37 Hui'a: subadult female, lighter female belly with some green, two red tags and NB on lower left side. The A/M stayed close to RK37. ( better her than one of the moms.

Slightly Makapuu side of the 3BS was a J/F: smaller juvenile size, female belly and two red tags.

On the rock flats behind SRI was an U/J: larger juvenile or small subadult, two red tags and lighter belly. Unsure of gender, although Marilyn suspects its a female.

Team R&B made their rounds and at the bay found Nalu R3CX snoozing. He was on the rocks alone.
They also saw a very busy RL20 foraging.

At another west side location they found Puka RP30.  He was on lower rocks alone. Wonder where big
brother Kai took off to?

They decided made the Ka'ena West trek and found the cute chubby RP84 Pe'ekai on the rocks alone.
Seems he is going to stay around for a while longer.
Further into Ka'ena West was RW02 PvKauai. He was in a shallow pond sound a sleep.
Team R&B decided to keep going. There were some folks that said there were seals further in. Just before the entrance to the point they found RL74 Kami. She was on the smaller rocks alone snoozing.
Waves got bigger and bigger hitting her, she tried to stay, flopped about and hung on laying there.
