Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:43 to 2:18 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.
Near each other about 30 feet Lanikai side of the 3BS were two sub-adult unknowns.
Sub-adult Unknown 1: sub-adult size, mottled ventral, no info on sex or tags. SU1 may have a pit scar at the base of the LFF which suggests it could be TempN25.
Sub-adult Unknown 2: sub-adult size, appears to have a gray ventral; no info on sex or tags
About 30 feet on the Makapuu side of 3BS was a small seal, labeled RU38: older weaner size and shape, two red tags, light yellow female belly.
Team R&B started their day finding R3CX Nalu hauled out. He was alone snoozing in a pond. Team R&B heard one of the homeless guys yelling, so they watched. The man walked over to Nalu and started making noises Nalu woke up looked and then left. It's always upsetting when these things happen, but thankfully Nalu left and Team R&B didn't have to deal with him directly. A little goodness came out of it, in that they heard a bird chirping and got a great photo, which made them smile.
Next they spotted three seals out foraging. They ID'd RM31, RH48 Lei Ola, and RG32. They noted that RG32 appears to be molting.
They braved the walk to Makaha dodging all the dog poop. They were grateful they did as there were two seals on shore. There was RP28 Wakea with R416 Makalii.
Heading over to the outfall area they saw multiple seals foraging. They got a positive ID on RL12 Aukai, but the other two were Unknown Adults, one with green on its coat, and the other had a clean coat.
Then they were happy to find their ol' buddy RH32 Kaale. He was alone snoozing on the rocks in a pond.
One last stop, one last recheck and they found two little angels. RU04 and RU12 were resting on the rocks. Needless to say Team R&B were thrilled to see them.
And then there were the dolphins doing what they do best, having fun!
