May 25, 2024 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 2:10 to 3:08 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

On LPB there were initially two seals:

Adult Male: adult size, dark male belly and two red tags. HE was accompanying an Adult Female: adult size, cream colored female belly and two red tags.

At 2:27 pm, PO3 hauled out to the Makapuu side of the AM and AF who were aware of him, but there were no interactions. PO3 identified by his weaner size and shape and no tags. 

Almost directly down from the 3BS was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, light tannish-yellow belly and unsure about tags. He barely changed positions so there wasn't much to go on.

When Team R&B arrived at their first stop they spotted the dolphins right away. Shortly after they noticed a seal on waterfront rocks, who they ID'd as R416 Makalii.

Then they noticed a very handsome head bobbing up from the rocks. The seal hauled on on seal inlet and they were able to ID RM31 Kai.

Their next stop was at Kahe. There they found RG28 Lefty alone and resting. They did go back later in the day to check on him and he was still there. This time he moved down in the pond.

From there they checked the outfall and spotted a seal foraging. They could see the seal had a green snout. Then they spoke to a swimmer who asked who is N7?  That was their aha moment when they realized the green snout was RH32 Kaale.

They spotted two seals hauling in at tracks from afar. They headed over to find RN04 Kainoa bothering the lovely R406. 

Checking in at Nimitz they found one seal. On the reef resting alone was R407 Kawika. Thankfully

nobody was bothering him.

Last stop was at plains where they found the very large RL12 Aukai. There was a zone set up around her. There were lots of people out today and will probably be through out the long weekend. We can only hope that she leaves and heads over to Rabbit Island.... like now!
