January 8, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Their first find at pokai was RH76 Kala with RL20. They were happy to find them together hauled out on the rocks.  Although Team R&B were happy seems Kala was annoyed with RL20 and gave him some round house kicks with her hind flippers. That didn't bother him much, as he stayed.

Later in the day Kala was still there but now there was a "fan". Kala didn't seem happy, but she stayed.

Team R&B got upset when they saw so many snorkelers with five seals in the water. The people were literally up close. These seals are becoming habituated, in Team R&B's opinion. They have less and less places to be without a crowd of people. They heard that someone called DLNR. 

Later the seals moved away from the crowd in the water and moved closer to the outfall area.

In the frenzy, Team R&B did ID a couple of the seals; RL08, RH48, RM31 and possibly RL12, and RS32.

On their last check of Pokai Kala RH32 was alone. They heard a seal vocalizing, and they spotted RL20 in the water foraging alone.

Late in the day they spotted another seal from afar. They were pretty tired and decided not to head out to Makaha, so the seal was reported as an Unknown.
