March 27, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:51 to 1:38 pm and there were three seals seen during that time. 

On LPB was an Adult Unknown: adult size, lighter ventral at least one tag and possible applied bleach on right side.

Between 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Unknown: juvenile size, lighter ventral, two red tags, no info in sex.

On the rock flats behind the SRI channel was a Sub-adult Unknown: smaller sub-adult size, older coat with lots of green, two red tags. If Marilyn had to guess she thought it was a male, but reported as an Unknown.

Team R&B started on the west side Their first find was Miss Kala RH76. She was alone resting at the zen area. 

They were looking out over the water and noticed something shiny on the surface. They realized it was another seal. They spotted the cc scar on his back. The seal came in to the seal inlet and came up. They were happy to see it was RG28 Lefty.  He slowly joined Kala at the zen.

So many people were out and about today, so Team R&B stuck around. There was a family yelling at Kala so she would do a trick.

Team R&B walked over and stayed by them and explained the seals were resting. They left the area so Team R&B left to search other areas.

Over at Kahe RG32 was seen. He was alone resting on the rocks.

They met up with a friend viewing the carcass, trying to see if they could spot a Tiger shark. They did see on a very large one. The water was murky so it was hard to see clearly. Then as they were scanning

the water when they saw big splashes and flippers flying. It was two seals fighting. They passed the carcass and kept going. They did not get an ID so they were both reported as Unknown Adults.

Team R&B got a text and photos of a big female at Plains. Their friend Hiroko was on site, so they texted back and told her that there are three females that have been hanging out there lately. Finally Hiroko sent a picture with a tags. It was KG89 Huaka'i.  

Team R&B finally made it to the site, just after Hiroko had to leave. Team R&B got to see that big beautiful seal on shore by the showers, Miss Huakao KG89.  One wonders if she will remain on Oahu to give birth..... only Huakai knows.

March 26, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:58 to 3:26 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

When she started viewing there was only a single seal near the SRI channel. This seal is labeled Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult to small adult size, older coat, no info on sex or tags. This seal may have a shallow pit scar at the base of the LFF. If it does this might be TempN25.

At 2:07 a seal hauled out down from the 3BS. This seal is labeled as

Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, yellow female belly and two red tags.

Marilyn thinks there is one Masked Booby is nesting on the outer crater rim. She saw a few Wedge-tailed Shearwaters flying around. 

Team R&B started out on the west side. They searched the area for an hour and came up empty.  They saw a heron and when they were taking photos, they were surprised to see RM31 Kai appeared. He hauled up to his spot on the rocks and remained there all day.

They also saw a turtle on shore and aa mocking bird in the tree.

Next they headed over to kahe and the stench was awful. They were almost afraid to look,. The whale carcass is still there and the sharks were out feeding off of it.

They did see two seals on the rocks. It was RK72 Kekoa Alii and RG32 together to the left side.

To the right side was another seal who is huge. The seal turned out to be RN14 Kalani.

They decided to make their way over to plains. When they arrived they found the handsome R407 Kawika. He was alone today resting peacefully.  Wonder where all the girls have gone, hopefully somewhere safe to give birth.

Rabbit Island Wednesday 3/35/2026

From Marilyn:

I viewed Rabbit Island from Makai Pier from 11:56 am to 1:22 pm. It was mostly sunny with frequent passing clouds and moderate to brisk winds.

There was only one HMS seen on RI during my viewing session.

About 60 feet Makapuu side of the 3BS was an Adult Male (AM): adult size, older coat, tannish-brown male belly; no info on tags. I'm attaching three photos the the AM.

Kalanianaole Hwy is still being contra flowed between Sea Life Park and Makai Pier. The sinkhole that developed on Monday was really a landslide on the makai side of the road. DOT has poured a lot of rocks on the slope down to the ocean and is reconstructing the road. It looks like they are about half down with the repair.

Rabbit Island Tuesday 3/24/2026

From Marilyn:

Yesterday I viewed Rabbit Island from Makai Pier from 2:42 to 3:46 pm. It was mostly sunny with frequent passing clouds and moderate winds.

I saw three or four HMS during my viewing session.

Out on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB was what I’m labeling Sub-adult Unknown 1 (SU1): probably sub-adult size, lighter ventral; no info on sex or tags. This seal was gone when I looked at 3:35 pm.

About 60 feet Lanikai side of the 3BS was a Juvenile Male (JM): juvenile size, older coat, yellowish-brown male belly, and two red tags. There were definite green patches below the eyes.

About 50 feet Makapuu of the 3BS was a Sub-adult Male (SM): sub-adult size, older coat, mottled tan male belly (I think); no info on tags.

At 3:39 pm, I realized that a seal had hauled out in the RRB channel. I’ve labeled this seal as Sub-adult Unknown 2 (SU2): sub-adult size, newer coat; no info on sex or tags. This could be a relocated SU1.

March 25, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕  I know Marilyn did view Rabbit Island yesterday (Tues) and today. Unfortunately she is having technical difficulties with her computer. I will post when I receive the emails.

Out on the west side Team R&B did their search. They were happy to finally see a seal in the water foraging. And the water looked better than it has been looking. The seal was RU40 Wai. HE never landed while they were there.

They had an appointment but were able to make a quick stop at the outfall. They spotted two seals foraging together. They couldn't make an ID on either of them other than they were adults. They were reported as Unknowns.

They stop to look at a sign that indicated there was whale carcass in the area.

Before heading out for their appointment they made a stop at plains. There was a male and female on shore. They were having a hard time IDing the male but then they noticed the applied bleach on his side. That's when they figured out it was EG32. They were surprised to see him, as they had never seen him on this beach before.  He was in the company of Miss Aukai RL12. 

After their appointment they went to check out a few spots. They did come across the whale carcass, and weren't sure what type of whale it was. There were lots of sharks in the area. 

Very late in the day they saw a seal landing on shore at electric beach. There were lots of people on shore at the beach and no one moved on out of the way.  The seal was an adult, not sure about tags or its sex. The seal kept moving up on shore and finally people picked up their things and moved.
