September 19, 2023 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Tammy met up with Lesley and headed out to Ka'ena Point. Their first find was Luana RN58. Next find out at the point was RS20. RS20 is Luana's pup from earlier this year. 

Next was RJ40, who is a Molokai seal that had her first pup this year. She's newly molted looking beautiful.  Tammy and Lesley thought it was going to be an all girl seal day but then when they weren't looking RW02 Pv Kauai hauled out. 

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from about 12:55 to 2:05 and there was only one seal during her viewing sesssion.

Out on RRB was an Unknown Subadult: subadult to juvenile size, older coat, other than that not much information since she never saw its ventral side or rear flippers.

Team R&B started at the outfall and they spotted two seals stealing fish from the poor fishers. The bigger seal was Kaale RH32 and he took off.  

The smaller green seal was RL20 Kalua. He actually stole a fish and ate it in plain view for all to see. They spotted the hook on his lower lip, no line seen but the shank is visible.

At a different location they saw a seal resting on the edge of the rocks. By the time they made it out, there were three guys walking towards the resting seal. One fuf with shorts ran over and yelled at the seal waving his arms and jumping in the water. The seal was R604 and she took off. They didn't see R604 again.

Next they were happy to spot Opihi RQ42 on lower rocks resting.  They were happy to see him back again.

They went back to Kahe and finally RH32 Kaale had hauled out along side of RL20.  Kaale's tag was visible and the boy is looking big. RL20 is so green they weren't able to see the hook on this haul out. He barely moved probably tired from stealing all the fish but he seemed just fine.

They ended their day finding Miss Kala RH76. They were happy to see she had returned to her rocky spot to rest.
