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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:05 to 2:12 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

On the Lanikai side of LPB was recent weaner RV76: large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

On the berm in the middle of LPB were three seals:

RV50: weaner size, female belly and three red tags; and

RK24 Bruno: adult size, old coat with scar on the right rear side, male belly and two red tags; and

Sub-adult Female: subadult size, new coat, light gray female belly, no obvious tags.

On the 1BS side of LPB was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B were on the west side and spotted a little green seal from afar. They headed over and upon arrival they were able to ID RV20/V24.

They saw Miss Kala RH76 who is almost done with her molt, and looking much better. She had a lot of visitors today, so Team R&B stayed and kept watch. When all the people left, Team R&B left to look for more seals.

While on the road they saw a seal but the traffic was stopped so it took them a bit to get there. When they arrived at the site there were two seals fighting, one sub-adult size, female, who they ID'd as RS32.

She landed, but the smaller seal took off. The other seal was younger, green, dark eyes and two red tags. They weren't able to read the tags, but saw that it was a male.

Lastly they headed over to check on R407 at Nimitz.  He was more to the right of where he had been during his molt. However he is officially done molting and looking handsome. Mahalo to posse pal Carol for keeping an eye on him.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:06 to 1:34 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. 

Initially there were two seals on the Lanikai side of LPB: 

Recent weaner RV76; large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

RV50; smaller weaner size, female belly, three red tags and applied N81 bleach on left side.

There were two more seal in the middle of LPB:

Juvenile Male: weaner to juvenile size,  at least two tags and light male belly,

And Molting Adult Unknown; adult size, old coat, not sure about sec or tags, but probably male, and about 15% molted on the upper chest.

The JM moved down closer to RV76 and RV50 and then all three relocated together on the LPB. One of the three was well hidden behind the other two.

Team R&B started their day with the couple on the west side. Once again the very cute couple RM31 Kai and RJ76 Kala were together keeping each other company. The surf was high and they were still there. They remind me of  the old days with Irma and Kermit.

The surfers were out, there was a young guy trying to get to the surf, but thee waves were big. He went around got in the water and surfed/ Team R&B were a little worried for him but the best part he made it safely back to shore and gave them a big shaka.

Then they got a call of black smoke makaha side. They saw a fire and flames, thick black smoke. Thankfully someone call HFD and they put it out.

They got a text from posse pal Caril of two seals aat KoOlina, but they left since there were so many people. At Kahe Team R&B stood and watched the dolphins they spotted RL20 Kalua passing by. He never landed.

Then they got another text of a seal on shore at nimitz. They got to the area and found Mr. Kawika R407 alone and resting. While on site they spotted a wee skeleton (Halloween is around the corner)

They were thrilled to spot another seal. They couldn't tell much so they had to goo down the cliff and there on shore was Makalii R416. He was  alone resting. They hadn't seen him since RL70 passed. R517 is looking good with green on his coat.

May 25, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:07 to 2:13 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time. 

Alone on the rock flats Lanikai of LPB was PO3. Marilyn is still unsure of the sex of PO3. She seems to get only brief looks at the ventral of this seal. She can see the Allflex tag on the RRF. PO3 seems to be doing okay on its own.

In the middle of LPB and barely moving were RK38 Hali'a and her

pup PO4. Marilyn did see PO4 nurse for an extended period of time, but otherwise there was little movement. Marilyn expects RK38 to wean the pup any day.

Initially about 50 feet Lanikai side of the 2BS were Pua RF34 and her pup PO5. PO5 nursed and then the pair entered the water about 12:23 pm. They hauled out closer to Middle Cliff about an hour later. PO5 again nursed and went into snooze mode.

A Juvenile Male was on the Lanikai side of Middle Cliff, but moved about 35 feet  closer to Middle Cliff when RF34 and PO5 hauled out where the J/M had been resting. The J/M is larger juvenile size with a fair amount of green and two red tags.

A Juvenile Female was out on RRB: juvenile size, female belly, lots of green and two red tags.

Out on the west side Team R&B's first sighting was an Unknown Adult. The U/A was foraging alone at the rest camp side. They didn't have enough to get an ID, but did note the U/A has a lot of green.

Next they did a check at Paradise cove but there was no parking. They were able to get in line and Barb went to check while hubby waited. There on the luau side was R416. Today all was okay, and there were two women there keeping an eye on him. They said he was in the water swimming about and landed about 7 AM.  Team R&B hung out until about 11ish. A volunteer arrived with signs and ropes. They updated the volunteer who the seal was and the other ladies told her when he arrived.

Lastly they made their way to the cliffs. They noted all the beaches and parks were packed today. Finally after searching they spotted a seal on the rocks. There alone snoozing was RP30 Puka. He is looking good.

To finish their day they watched the dolphins do what they do best.
