February 22, 2024 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12 noon to 1:50 and there were five seals seen during that time.

On the waterline down from 1BS was an Unknown Adult: adult size, she never got to see its ventral side and did not see tags. The UA left by 12:20 so there wasn't much time to get more information.

Initially there was a group of three seals near each other between 3BS and SRI. At 12:45 a fourth seal showed up and joined the group.

The initial three seals were:

Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, tan male belly and two red tags

Adult Female 1: large adult size, tannish female belly and two red tags. In some positions she looked pregnant, although not ready to pip. In other positions she did not look so plump.

Adult Female 2: adult size, light to medium gray ventral female belly, two red tags and a line scar on her upper right chest area.

The fourth seal was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, two red tags and a tannish yellow female belly.

There was some changing of positions among the group.

Team R&B started their day at the bay and looked out for seals. They saw a homeless guy walking int he area where the seals usually go, and Team R&B were happy there were no seals around. Then out of  nowhere they saw a seal coming into the exact area. The seal hauled up within 5 feet of the where they guy was standing. They could see it was RH76 Kala, so they called out to the guy and pointed to the seal. He moved up a bit and sat, and thankfully eventually left the area.

Kala RH76 hauled up and then turned the other way instead of going to her zen spot. At least she was in a better spot by being hidden. They also noted that today they noticed for the first time that Kala has one white nail.

Team R&B next find was Kekoa Alii RK72 with most of his bling attached. They had heard there were

two seals but they only saw RK72. He was resting comfortably.

They headed off to Makaha and got to see plenty of whales. They were also surprised to see a big honu resting onshore.

And there was a seal alone on shore sound asleep. They studied the critter and finally saw one of the tags has a 3.... and there was R3CX Nalu.
