06/27/2022 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:40 to 2:15 and there were seven seals on island today.

Farthest Lanikai on LPB was MO6-PO6. Marilyn saw some nursing and again PO6 tried to climb over Mom's back. Not sure why the kid does this.

More in the middle of LPB was MO7-PO7. Marilyn observed at least one nursing session and as often the case PO7 goes behind Mom and is not visible.

About 20 feet Makapuu side of MO7-PO7 were two more seals.

A/M: adult to subadult size, dark male belly and at least one red tag on the LRF.

Not far away was a S/F: subadult to adult size, greenish female belly and two red tags. Marilyn never got a good view of the left side of the SF. So she could not see if there was a NB or not.

Not far from the 3BS was a J/F: juvenile size, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B found RP30 Puka at a west side location. He was to the right of seal inlet, resting alone.

Next stop they spotted a seal foraging in the water. There was RL20 filling his belly and stealing fish from the fishers. Seems this little thief reminds me of another critter..... any guesses?

After searching all the local spots they decided to make the Ka'ena

West trek. They were most grateful to find RP84 Pe'ekai resting on the rocks. As the waves started to build and toll in, he made his way to higher ground. There he was quite hidden from view. If they hadn't been there to see him move they never would have found him.

A couple spotted him moving and were so excited to see their first seal. So of course Team R&B were happy to tell them all about Pe'ekai.
