April 5, 2026 Yesterday's News from Saturday 4/4/2026

Here is Marilyn's update from Saturday:

Yesterday I viewed Rabbit Island from Makai Pier from 11:56 am to 2:12 pm. There was some sun but lots of passing clouds and moderate winds.

There were ultimately five HMS seen during my viewing session.

On LPB was an Adult Male (AM): smaller adult size, older coat with mottled tan ventral, male belly; no info on tags. I believe

this seal has an applied bleach at least on the right rear side and it is probably N61 indicating R7AF. Any guesses?

Down from the 3BS was a Sub-adult Female (SF): sub-adult size, yellow female belly and two red tags.

Between the 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Male (JM): juvenile size, lighter male belly and two red tags.

Near SRI was a Juvenile Female (JF): larger juvenile size, older coat, yellow female belly and two red tags.

At 12:35 pm, I noticed a Sub-adult Unknown near the RRB channel: sub-adult size, no info on sex or tags but the ventral appeared lighter.
