February 23, 2024 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:40 to 1:20 and there were four seals seen during that time.

Out on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB was a seal Marilyn originally labeled as an Unknown/Unknown, but after viewing the seals and reviewing the photos, she believes it is RP24 Mohala. Sub-adult size, older coat with mottled tan female belly and nb on LFF.

Initially together near SRI was RK24 Bruno/Wawamalu and an Adult Female. 

RK24: light gray male belly, two red tags and scar on the right rear side.

Adult Female: adult size, mottled ventral, female belly and two red tags.

RK24 soon left the AF and started galumphing in the 3BS direction where a Juvenile Female was on the beach. He nosed her and they had a few words. Then RK24 headed for the water and entered about 12:06 pm/ At 12:20, he hauled out at the LPB surge channel.

Meanwhile the JF went into snooze mode. JF: was juvenile size,, light female belly and two red tags.

Marilyn also watched a red-tailed tropic bird at its nest in the cliff behind SRI and a pair of Masked Boobies at the outer crater rim.

Team R&B started their day at the bay where they saw a fat seal on the rocks. It was Kala RH76 was in another spot not her usual zen spot at all. They checked on her again and she seemed fine just resting.

While out at the bay they watched the dolphins at play.

At another west side location they were thrilled to find Kekoa Alii RK72 back in a familiar spot. His tracker was visible.

To his right was another seal, it was RG28 Lefty. He was near the seal inlet area resting peacefully. 

Last stop at Kahe they found one seal. There was Mr. RL08 alone chilling on the rocks. He was nice enough to show one of his tags making his ID L09 easy.
