11/27/2022 Sunday's Dailies

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

Posse pal Justin hiked Kaena point today and came across four Hawaiian monk seals. On the way out from the Waianae side by Queens pool he saw RM30 Kai, ID'd by her M30/31 tags. There was another seal similar in size but they could see its flippers to get an ID, the seal did have an old CC scar on its right side. So it was reported as a unknown unidentified.

At the point they found RO40 Ka'ena, he was on back beach and identified by his 055 tags. He is looking green. RL74 Kami was in the main pool at the point.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from the beach park today from 11:52 to 12:49 and there were two seals.

When Marilyn arrived there was an unknown adult near the 1BS and what turned out to be a Subadult Male Lanikai side of the 3BS.

At 11:58 the U/A entered the water and showed up near the 3BS at

12:06. The U/A galumphed up to the S/M

U/A - adult size, dark coat, not sure about gender or tags.

S/M - subadult size, newer coat, two red tags and light gray male belly.

Team R&B started checking many of the areas early this morning. There were dolphins and tons of people out an about. Then from afar they spotted a seal hauling up on shore. It was Kaale RH32. He had all kinds of people visiting him, he's like a magnet!

At one of the areas they could see a seal on the rocks. It was very well hidden making getting any

information a challenge. They saw cc scars and there is a cc scar where his cyst was, they were able to ID RL08.

While watching over RL08 they noticed the coast guard and lifeguards on jet ski. There was a search going on, and in the end they found a divers bouy and rope but no diver.

As this was taking place they spotted a seal pass by fast. It turned out to be Nalu R3CX who hauled out and joined RL08.

At another west side location there on the rocks was the lovely Kala RH76. Today there was a nice cool breeze, Kala was alone on the rocks and doing just fine.

Team R&B made the Ka'ena West trek today. There on the rocks was a seal snoozing and people going down towards it. They were aware they were being watched, so they were respectful. The seal was RP30 Puka who let out a sneeze. He looks to be doing just fine and looks healthy.

Then they saw some movement and realized there was another seal. There was brother RM41 Kai, so once again the brothers are just chilling in different spots at the same location.

Lastly Team R&B spotted some very cute cows!
