Jan 30, 2023 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:45 to 12:45 and there was one seal on island today.

Just as she arrived she spotted an Unknown Juvenile coming down from the dune under the 3BS.  The U/J moved down to the waterfront. U/J: larger juvenile to small subadult size, very light belly, but could not be sure of its gender. She saw two red tags during a flipper flex.

Team R&B were out and about and at 7:40 they spotted a seal from a far on shore. They kept

an eye on it. But then.... a lady taking photos from behind the seal. So they headed over to the site. When they arrived a volunteer was on site with signs up. Seems there was a training group of volunteers. They ID'd R413 Makamae, snoozing next to an old tree branch.

From there Team R&B headed over to the outfall where they found the two infamous fish thieves foraging.  They ID'd RL20 Kalua enjoying himself in a school of Akule, the little piggy.

The other seal was none other number one thief Kaale RH32.

While watching Kaale and Kalua they where looking through binoculars and happen to see a seal at the other end just hauled out. They hurried over to fins R3CX Nalu. They called the hotline and explained there was another seal in the area. The volunteers in training walked over to observe. YEA!   more volunteers.

They hurried out to another area and a volunteer was on site at secrets with signs and ropes up. Melina was on site as well as a bunch of tourist. 

There were four seals hanging out on shore.  Starting at the left was RG32 and Kekoa Alii RK72 snoozing together. Then there was RG28 Lefty and RN14 Kalani together. They got a pic with the four boys lined up. Amazing!
