Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:15 to 1:30 pm and there was one seal seen during that time.
Between the 3BS and SRI was the same Adult Female Marilyn has been seeing lately. Adult size, mottled tan female belly, scar on lower neck/upper chest and two red tags.
The only company she had were all the Sooty Terns flying around.
Tammy met up with Lesley and Michael today to check out the point. The vog made the air thick alongwith the high temps it was hot! The Albatross chicks are growing up nicely.
It was a slow seal day in that they only saw two critters today. First they saw R420 Kaipo, resting ont he rocks alone. Then there was PvKauai RW02 laying on the black rocks. Its a wonder they weren't in the water since it was so hot out there.
Team R&B started out at pokai and it was a busy morning. There were multiple seals by the jetty, fighting/playing., all with mouths wide open, flipper slapping and tails in the air.
They were able to ID, RL20 Kalua, R3CX Nalu and RP28 Wakea. There was another seal adult with lots of green.
Team R&B stayed for two hours and none of them landed. They watched and there were two seals that went along the rest camp shores with swimmers in the water.
At Kahe they found RK72 Kekoa Alii. He was alone sound a sleep on the rocks. While checking him out they saw a seal foraging at the outfall, but couldn't make an ID or get a photo.
They headed over to nimitz and found R407 Kawika. He was alone sleeping on shore. The waves kept slapping him, but it didn't bother him none, he just kept snoring.
Team R&B went back to check on the boys at pokai, hoping they had hauled out. The only seal they found was little RP28 sleeping alone on the rocks. A wave knocked him off and he wiggled his way to the right, looked around. There were two people that had showed up, so he took off.

He headed out and suddenly the other seals were all there to greet him. Then the fun began with the fighting/playing.
