March 5, 2024 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:24 to 12:57 and there were three seals on island during that time.

Between Middle Cliff and 3BS were two seals:

RK24 Bruno/Wawamalu: adult size, light gray male belly, two red tags and scar on right rear side.

Adult Female: adult size, older coat, mottled gray brown belly and at least one tag.

Near SRI was an Unknown Sub-adult: sub-adult size, not sure about tags or sex.

Team R&B starred their day at the bay. There was a seal foraging and after a bit of time they were able

to get an ID. It was RH76 Kala doing 6 to 8 minute dives, and looking quite large. She was busy foraging and wasn't interested in landing, so Team R&B headed out.

At another west side location they found one seal. Up on high rocks was RM31 Kai alone and resting.

Next stop at Kahe they spotted a seal on the rocks. It was R407 Kawika alone and resting.

They could see that RH32 Kaale was once again hauled out at Electric Beach. There were folks getting close to most likely take a picture or two. They called the hotline to report.

Later in the day they did a recheck and Kaale was still there. Needless to say he was still being visited by folks on the beach.

On their second visit to Kahe they were thrilled to see R407 was in the company of RK72 Kekoa Alii. And not that far away on the next rock was RL20 Kalua.  What a nice surprise.

On their last stop which was a recheck at the bay they spotted a seal hidden in the rocks. They stayed for awhile watching but the seal barely moved, other than a lifting its head a few times. They believe this critter was Kala RH76 hiding after her feast from earlier in the day.
