May 7, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 10:25 am to 1:02 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time. A NOAA team went out to the island and for some bleaches and allflex tags on some of the seals. A DOFAW team also was on the island part of the time.

On the Lanikai side of LPB was an adult male that Marilyn believes to be R416 Makali'i based on ventral scar and dark patches. Mark applied a N34 bleach on his upper left side, but he rolled over shortly after so it might not take.

In the middle LPB was MO3 and PO3. They had been swimming and did not haul out until 11:25 pm, Maril got a 3 bleach on the middle back of PO3 which should take and PO3 now has an Allflex tag 923.

He took extensive photos of MO3s rear flippers and didn't see tags. Tracy has reviewed thee photos and couldn't ID MO3. Mystery Mom!

Almost directly down from the 3BS was RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4. Mark for a 4 bleach on the pups's back, but he's not sure if it took. PO4 also got an Allflex tag 930.

RF34 Pu and PO5 were between the 3BS and SRI mostly among the waterfront rocks. They did a lengthy swim. PO5 had previously gotten

a 5 bleach on its left side and it was visible today. Mark had hoped to get an Allflex tag on PO5, but momma Pua did not allow it.

On RRB was RS12 Hoku (who is Sadie's 2023 female RI pup). She's sub-adult size with a yellow female belly. She moved into the RRB channel soon afterr the NOAA team arrived.

Team R&B started on the west side and were happy to find Miss Kala RH76. She was snoozing on the waterfront rocks alone. They had an appointment so they couldn't stay long.
