March 23, 2025 Sunday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:14 to 1:47 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.
Initially alone on the waterline between the 3BS and SRI was an Adult Male: smaller adult size,  light gray male belly with partial C scar on left mid-chest and two red tags. At 1:45 pm, Marilyn realized he had moved to join the Adult Female, who was on the rock flats between 3BS and SRI.
The Adult Female was adult size, light gray female belly, scar on lower neck/upper chest and two red tags.
Marilyn thinks these are the same two seals that she saw yesterday.

Team R&B started their day at pokai watching the seals foraging. They saw R3CX Nalu briefly foraging in a school of fish, but they soon lost sight of him.
They saw RM31 Kai fighting/playing /foraging with a cute little seal with two red tags. They came close in, but there people on one side, a fisher on the other and two divers, so they never hauled out.
The little seal had a scar on the left neck area, possibly a bleach on the neck, a line scar that mid back. 

At the outfall they spotted an adult seal, they did not see any tags. The seal was foraging by the outfall area among the many swimmers, divers and snorkelers.  They believe the seal is big boy RH32 Kaale.
At one point they saw the seal eat a large tako. He also went after the fishers fish, as the guy was hauling in his catch, of course this worried Team R&B. The seal took the fish and split with the snorkelers by his side. He certainly behaves like butt head Kaale.

Last stop was to check to see if RT62 Kaiwa was still hanging out. They had their doubts, but there she was still on the reef.  There were people and a dog out and about but all was good.  Miss Kaiwa was sound a sleep and never moved.
While hanging out with her they noticed a plover with his new suit getting ready to fly back soon.
