March 7, 2024 Thursday's Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:34 to 2:00 and there were four seals seen during that time. 

By the 1BS of LPB were two seals:

Adult Female: adult size, mottled gray belly and two red tags. Marilyn alternated between thinking this was a male and female and finally decided it was a female. This seal may have a scar above the right eye and a scar on the upper left chest.

About 40 feet Makapuu side of 3BS was a Sub-adult Male: smaller sub-adult size, yellow male belly and two red tags.

At SRI was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, light yellow female belly and two red tags.

The masked booby pair was also on the outer rim of the crater for much of Marilyn's viewing session.

Team R&B first seal of the day was spotted by the last cabin at restcamp. It was R3CX Nalu alone on shore, there were no signs at that time.  They called the hotline.

Later in the afternoon they did another check and Nalu was still on shore, but now there were signs up. They did see a guy just outside of the area with the signs.

At another west side location they found RK72 Kekoa Alii. He was pretty much in the same spot, his coat was dry and he was getting rest on this windy chilly day.  They noted his antenna is gone from the mesh on his back but the sat tag was still intact.

On their first stop at Kahe they found RG28 Lefty. He was alone and resting.

Upon their second visit they spotted a gentleman and his child being

very excited about something. Well they were watching a seal heading in towards the rocks. Team R&B ID'd the seal as R407 Kawaika who hauled up on the rocks with RG28 Lefty.

Lastly Team R&B who were already at home got a text from their daughter who saw a seal at plains. She took a couple of photos with her phone and Barb was able to IF RL12 Aukai.
