January 16, 2024 Tuesday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by posse pal Liz, Marilyn and Team R&B💕

News from posse pal Liz on Molokai.  She reported seeing RJ06 Aka on Monday. Liz knows RJ06 is an Oahu boy so she forwarded a couple of photos.  He was born in 2017 on Rabbit Island, and one of the last seals named by our beloved DB.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:05 to 1:15 and there were three seals seen during that time.

Between 1BS and 2BS was R606: sub-adult size, light male belly. no tags and NB on tip of RRF.

Between 3BS and SRI were two seals:

Unknown Adult - adult size, older coat, two red tags, yellowish brown belly, Marilyn thinks it was a female but not sure enough to call it.

Sub-Adult Female: sub-adult size, light female belly and two red tags. About 1 pm the SF galumphed over near the UA but there was no interaction.

Team R&B did their usual checks coming up empty despite the blustery, dark day. So they decided to head west and they happen to see two seals hauling up on shore from afar.

By they time they arrived and got out to the area on the rocks was RQ64. She was so alert and aware they were there. So they hid and she finally settled.

Next to her was R604 a big female. CC scar on her right side, two scars on upper side, they did not see tags.

It was hard to view them in that they were directly down in the sand. Team R&B only stayed to make the IDs and then left.

Lastly they decided to recheck the bay and to their delight they found RL70 Leina resting  Then to her right on the other side was RH32 Kaale.
