August 10, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:51 to 3:24 pm and there were eight seals seen during that time.

RH76 Kala and her pup PO13 hauled out on LPB about 12:58 pm. The pup nursed for and extended period of tome and then went into snooze mode. Marilyn is reasonably sure PO13 is a female. RH76 is looking much thinner, and will probably wean the pup over the upcoming weekend.

Between the Middle Cliff and the 3BS was an Adult Female that is a newly molted RK38: adult size, gray female belly at least one red tag, and scar on her lower neck/upper chest. She weaned her pup between 5/30-5/31, so her molt timing is good.

Down from the 3BS was a female weaner believed to be RV50: weaner size, light female belly and 4 red tags. She has been seen frequently in this general location.

Between the 3BS and SRI were two adult seals:

R7AF: adult size, older dark coat, male belly, at least one red tag and N61 applied bleach.

Adult Female 1: small adult size, old coat with some green, female belly and two red tags.

Near the SRI channel was a Weaner Male: recent weaner size,  light male belly, and just to red tags (maybe RV70)

Team R&B received a text from a friend so they headed off to paradise cove. They usually don't go there anymore because its so crazy.

When they arrived there were two seals, one landed on the rocks and other still in the water eating a fish.

The hauled out seal was RL12 Aukai and the one in the water was RP28 Wakea. All the visitors were too close to the seals.  They did their best calling out to folks to give the seals some space to come up on shore.  They were getting really frustrated. They stood by one man who just wouldn't listen. They even tried gesturing to him to move.

Seem Aukai created the interest by coming to shore. Team R&B told the tourist to back up and the seals will come in. RP28 got close to the man with the cell phone in the water, they explained the seals have big

teeth.  Their friend brought some signs and they placed them.

After an hour they left the site. On their way out they saw Auntie Nettie! It's been a while and she is looking good. Thanks to Auntie who keeps any eye out in the area.

Next stop was at plains and they were thrilled to find RT06 Marvin by the broken tower. RT06 is about 50% molted and under the watchful eye of the lifeguards. 

As they were driving to the west side they saw lots and lots of dolphins, of course they pulled over to watch They were way out jumping out of the water, sometimes there were be ten of them jumping together.   They estimate close to a hundred dolphins were far out and nearby.
