June 27, 2023 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:25 to 3:00 pm, joined by Diane. There was four seals on island today.

Together out on the rock flats of LPB were the two weaners. RS12 and RS34, next to each other. They mostly were in "snoopy" positions (on their back with their bellies to the sky).

About 30 feet of the 1BS on the waterfront was an Adult Female: adult size, sandy female belly and two red tags. Diane spotted and several photos showed what appears to be a NB on her lower left side. This would suggest RK37 Huia. She also had something white on or above her left nostril. (is that a banana in your nose..... no it snot).  Marilyn couldn't tell if it was a wound, snot, salt or who knows what. Under all the sark sand appeared to be a grayish green female belly.

About 30 feet of the 3BS was a juvenile male that Marilyn believes to be R7AF: juvenile size, light
male belly, thin in size and two red tags. Several photo show an applied N bleach.  Earlier when NOAA had tagged the weaners, Tracy had tried to put N2 bleach on R7AF.

Team R&B gor to the bay today and found one seal. There was the very fat RH76 Kala, she was alone and resting.  They stayed for about 15 minutes and had to leave. 

They got stuck in traffic for over two hours today due to a five car accident. Plus they had appointments so they squeezed in one more stop. At another west side location they found one seal. There was R416 that they were able to snap a couple of photos.  

Just as an added bonus they saw a beautiful Fairy Tern.
