May 23, 2024 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:30 to 2:57 and there were four seals seen during that time.

On LPB were two seals:

Unknown Adult: adult size, lighter ventral, not sure about sex or tags. Marilyn thinks this is a female but just could not confirm.

Adult Male: adult size, tan male ventral, not sure about tags.

They progressively moved up the beach with the rising tide.

At 12:52 pm weaner PO3 hauled out between 1Bs and 2BS, closer to the former. He hauled over the waterfront rocks and proceeded to play with a small branch and seeming to put objects in his mouth, typical weaner behavior. He then went into snooze mode for the rest of Marilyn's viewing session. He was ID'd by his weaner size and shape, light gray male belly and not tags.

Between 3BS and SRI was an Adult Female: adult size, cream colored female belly and two red tags. The AF has a short jagged scar on her neck which did not show up in the photo. This AF looks healthy but not pregnant.

Team R&B started their day at the bay watching the dolphins.  While watching they noticed a lady walk down the path, and that is when they spotted a seal. It was RL20 Kalua resting in the pond. The water distorted him in that he looked small. RL20 made his way up on the rocks.

At another west side location they found R617 at seal inlet with RM31 Kai. Then at waterfront rocks was R416 on his side in a deep sleep.

Team R&B didn't stay long as they had to go and make bubbles with their little grandson. What fun!
