May 6, 2023 Saturday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn.   Team R&B did not have seals on the west side.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 2:15 to 3:30 and there were seven seals on island today.

On Lanikai side of LPB were RB12 Sadie and PO4. When she arrived PO4 was nursing.  Then the pup started moving toward an Adult Female, who was in the middle of LPB. Sadie decided it was time for a swimming lesson. PO4 and Sadie turned and entered the water and weren't seen again.

The Adult Female in the middle of LPB was adult size, old coat, a dark brownish-yellow female belly and at least one tag.

Weaner PO3 was again in the area between 2BS and Middle Cliff. PO3 played with a stick, but never show its belly. She was weaned sometime between Tuesday, May 2 and Friday May 5th.

About 40 feet Makapuu side of 3BS was Sadie's 2018 pup, RK37 Hui'a. Adult size, older coat, brownish-yellow female belly, to red tags and a NB on her lower left side.

Near SRI was RQ44 Mahina (RL12 Aukai's 2022 pup): juvenile size, older coat, green female belly and 3 rear flipper tags.

Out on RRB was an Unknown Subadult: smaller subadult size, to larger juvenile size. Marilyn did not see any tags and the seal never showed its ventral size, so gender unknown.
