Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:10 to 2:17 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
Initially near each other on LPB were two seals:
Recent Weaner PO13: recent weaner size, no tags, female belly.
Adult Male 1: adult size, old coat, no tags seen, might be starting to molt but not sure. AM1 moved around PO13 and later moved to the beach Lanikai side of the beach.
Down from 3BS were two weaners near each other:
RV50 weaner size, female belly, three red tags, and applied N81 bleach on left front side.
Out on RRB where he was yesterday was Adult Male 2: adult size, new coat, two tags and male belly.
Team R&B started on the west side. Their first find was Miss Kala RH76, she was resting at the zen. She was alone, looking a little thin but doing okay.
Later in the afternoon they went back to check and now Miss Kala was in the company of R617.
Checking things out by the outfall they did see Miss Aukai RL12 with a Unknown Adult. They were foraging once again. Must be good spot to catch a bite.
Team R&B got word of a seal on the west side, so they went back to check it out. They walked so far on the beach not finding anything. Disappointed they went back to the car. Their friend saw them and asked if they saw the seal? ..... what seal? So their friend took them all the way back and there in plain view was RU04. Happy to see her butnot sure how they missed her. She is looking good, nice weight and very green.
Last stop was at the cliffs. They saw a big adult seal with clean coat and no disguisable marks, and a red tag they couldn't read. They thought maybe it was a female but didn't have a good enough view to be sure.
