August 26, 2025 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:37 to 2:13 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.

As Marilyn was setting up she saw the two recent weaners playing in the shallows near the 1BS side of LPB and TempN25 up on the beach above them. The weaners (RU48 and RU64) played for some time while TempN25 moved down the shore. TeamN25 entered the water and hauled out nearer middle LPB a short time later.

Meanwhile RU48 and RU64 moved up the beach and went into

snooze mode. At 1:16 pm, the seal labeled RU64 entered the water and was seen again at 1:48 pm hauled out at the Middle Cliff area.

Alone on the Lanikai side of LPB was an Unknown Weaner: older weaner size and shape, two red tags and no info on sex.

Initially two seals were in the middle of LPB:

Sub-adult Female 1: sub-adult size, about 50% molted light gray female belly and two red tags.

Sub-adult Female 2: small sub-adult size, older coat tan with some green female belly and two red tags.

They were joined by TempN25 after he left the recent weaners: sub-adult size, new coat light male belly and no tags.

Team R&B made it out to pokai where they saw three seals today. Most of their observations were of R3CX Nalu and RH48 Lei Ola. R3CX stayed close to Lei Ola while they foraged.  The third seals was RL20 Kalua who had yellow/green racoon eyes. They saw his tags and didn't get to see his chest area to see if the hook was still there. He was off on his own staying closer in.

Next they headed over to tracks to check on R604. When they arrived they were surprised to see a male with her. They were able to ID the male as Kawika R407. He is back in the area and they were happy to see him.  He is looking quite green, but they did see his natural bleach mark, no tags, cc scar on back and scar on left eye.

R604 is still molting and is about 70% done.  Then the two had a spat and she chased him off. We all know who is in charge.

While watching the two go at it they were treated to seeing five eagle rays close to the rocks.

Team R&B headed over to Plains and found one seal. It was an adult with two rags, a ding between shoulders. They couldn't get anything else to male an ID. The seal is a large adult and extremely green. Of course the Unknown Adult did not cooperate by not moving and covered in sand. They thought maybe a female but couldn't confirm but finally did see a scar on its head.
