April 28, 2025 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:09 to 1:45 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

MO3 and her pup PO3 were in the water when she arrived and did not haul out until 1:13 pm. They moved up from the LPB surge channel. PO3 nursed and they both seem to be doing fine.

Down from the 3BS were RF34 Pua and her pup PO4. Marilyn think they may have just hauled out after a swim. A short distance away was an Adult Female. At first Pua went after the AF. The AF then moved away. Marilyn did not see much activity from Mom and pup, but  booth seem fine.

The Adult Female was smaller adult size, golden female belly and two tags. Marilyn did not get a good view of the ventral neck area so she doesn't know if this is the female with the neck scar.

Team R&B had another slow seal day. Their only find was at Maili where there were two seals. Kai RM31 was with R617 at seal inlet resting.

They spotted a boobie sitting on the water and when they went to photograph it, there was a big fishing lure stuck to its beak and neck. They were so saddened to see this and followed him for an hour up and down the coast. He kept flying low landing in the water, then the rocks, then to the guard rail. They tried but weren't able to help it. Sooooo sad.
