06/29/2022 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Team T&D hiked to the point and only found four seals. Makes you wonder where the seals are hiding, especially since Team R&B hasn't had much luck lately.

They first found RG28 Lefty keeping company with RL74 Kami.

Their next find was Ka'ena RO40. They first spotted him hauling out on some flats. Later they saw him at the point telescoping and checking our every nook and cranny. He was probably looking for females.

Lastly they found R330 Squinty.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:05 to 3:00 and there seven seals on island today.

Further Lanikai direction on LPB was MO6-PO6. They were mostly snoozing during her time. They seems to be doing just fine.

When Marilyn first arrived she didn't see MO7-PO7. Seems Mom and Pup went for a swim, then about 1:30 she saw them haul out onto middle beach of LPB. As usual PO7 spent much of its time behind mom, but Marilyn did see a nursing session.

About 40 feet Lanikai side of the 2BS were two seals:

RK37 Hui'a: subadult size, greenish tan female belly, two red tags and NB on lower left side. She was near a A/M: adult to subadult size, darker coat, gray male belly and two red tags. He and RK37 had some interactions.

On rock flats behind and Makapuu of the SRI was an:

U/J: juvenile size, at least one red tag and a yellowish belly. Unsure of its gender.

Team R&B headed out early this morning and started on their searches. They found RH48 Lei Ola on the rocks, dry and snoozing. She was alone. except for the flies were bugging her, especially around her face.

Their next stop to another west side location where they found RP30 Puka. He was alone on the rocks.

Little guy was sleeping soundly.

By surprise they came across RP84 Pe'ekai. This is the first time in a while they have seen him away from Ka'ena West. He was on the rocks snoozing peacefully.

Team R&B decided to make the Ka'ena West trek. They found a male resting. They studied him for a bit, he had tags but couldn't read them or make and ID. They believe it to be Nalu R3CX.

They came across another male, who they believe to be RW02 PvKauai. He has a small wound on his mouth, doesn't appear to be anything serious.

After leaving Ka'ena West they made one more stop. They were thrilled to find RL42 with her son Kai RM31. Both were on shore sleeping peacefully. It would be so cool if RP30 was there too.
