April 7, 2024 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:13 to 1:45 and there were three seals seen during that time.

Still at Middle Cliff were Mom RF34 Pua and her pup. There was a nursing session, and the kid snoozed with some moving around. All normal pup behavior.

At 12:57 Marilyn became aware of a Juvenile Female between 3BS and SRI. Marilyn hadn't seen the JF earlier, so she wasn't sure if the JF came out of the water or down from the dunes. She never changed her position. Marilyn is reasonable sure this is the same JF that has been on island. She did have two

tags.

Marilyn did finally she the Masked Booby mate for the first time in a while. She has only seen one MB apparently sitting on a nest for the past month or so.

Lastly not something you see everyday, a pair of mating turtles were in front of the pier lanai. 

Team R&B were on the road passing electric beach and spotted a seal just hauling in. Of course they stopped to check and ID'd RH32 Kaale.  They called the hotline.

They went back to check later and Kaale was gone, there were people and loose dogs running around.

Next they stopped at Kahe and found RL08 and RM31 Kai hanging out together. RL08's cyst was draining some type of fluid. They notified NOAA.

Checking out a few locations they eventually headed over to plains. The princess Aukai RL12 was home today. She is big.... she is fat.... she is Aukai!

Their last find has left them a little confused. They found this male at nimitz and spent over an hour.

At first they thought it was RN14 Kalani, with cc scar under belly, clean coat, scar on muzzle and a scar over the eye. They did not see his applied N14 bleach, so they're not sure. Hoping NOAA can confirm his ID.
