June 30, 2023 Friday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn.  Team R&B did not have any seals today.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:30 to 3:20 and there were four seals on island today. 

On the rock flats of LPB was one of the Weaners: weaner size, shape and coloration, two red tags and very light female belly. Marilyn only saw one weaner today.

Initially near the back of LPB was who Marilyn ultimately decided was RK24 Bruno/Wawamalu: adult size, light tan male belly, two red tags, and scar on right side about 1/3 forward of rear flippers. He entered the water 2:52 pm and hauled out to Adult Female 1 near 3BS at 2:58 pm

Near 3BS was Adult Female 1: adult size, grayish green female belly and two red tags. She did not

totally welcome RK24's attention.

Behind water front rocks on RRB was Adult Female 2: Marilyn got a brief look, no photos of her greenish yellow female belly before she rolled over. Marilyn believes she is the same A/F she reported yesterday. 

As Marilyn was driving she had seen a seal out near the waterline at Sandys. There was an SRA and volunteer on site. Marilyn made a quick stop for about 10 minutes.  

The seal was adult size, sandy male belly, and no tags that she could see. There may have been a scar on the right side of the face which would suggest RK72 Kekoa Alii. Because of his position and location it was difficult to get all the angles. 

** side note late email from Team R&B - they confirmed RK72 Kekoa's ID.  Good to hear about him its been a while.*****
