Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:54 to 3:13 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

Alone on the berm of LPB was weaner RV76: large weaner size, two red tags and female belly.

On the 1BS side of LPB nearer the water were two seals:

Sub-adult Female: sub-adult to small adult size, new coat, female belly, no tags that could be seen. Nearby was RV50: older weaner size, yellow female belly, applied N81 bleach and three tags.

About 50 feet Makapuu side of the 3BS was a Juvenile Unknown: larger juvenile size, new coat, no info on sex or tags.

Out on the west side Team R&B were happy to find Miss Kala RH76. She came in cautiously and then went to her nesting area and settled. She was alone without her beau.

From afar they saw there was a big seal on shore at Makaha. So they headed over to find R3CX Nalu, and he is molting away. They did a recheck later in the afternoon and he was still there resting.

At electric beach they saw a seal coming out of the outfall headed to the shore, landed and kept looking around. Then the seal turned around and left. A group of people hurried over to get a picture of the seal. Team  R&B believe this was RP28 Wakea, but he disappeared before they could be sure.

Off the outfall was an adult with clean coat, at least one tag and the seal never landed. Perhaps that's what RP28 was looking for when he landed.  They also noted this seal has a scar on the right of its head. Maybe Aukai?

Next they headed over to Nimitz to check, especially since there were so many poles set up yesterday and today. There was R407 Kawika had just arrived and placed himself

under one of the poles per the fisherman. One of the other guys told them there was a second seal so Team R&B went looking.

Sure enough there was another seal. It was Huakai KG89 on shore far from R407. Guess plains was too crowded for her. No one was bothering her at all which is a nice change of pace.

They decided to make a late check on Kala because they realized after they left she was starting her molt. When they arrived near her was the green RM31 Kai. They were happy to see the two of them together. Both moved way inland for the night together again.

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.

Their appointment went later than they thought, but they managed to make it to plains.  When they
arrived there were two seals still on shore.

On the left side RL12 Aukai, getting slammed by the high tide. She didn't move, maybe it felt like a massage to the pregnant lady.

Near the showers was their little cutie RT06. He was enjoying his siesta.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Isla d from 12:55 to 2:35 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

Near the waterline on LPB was an Unknown Adult: large adult size, no info on sex or tags. The UA only showed its dorsal side. If Marilyn had to guess she said this is a pregnant female based on size and location. Possibly RB12 Sadie since she is due, but only time will tell.

About 50 feet Makapuu direction from the 3BS was an Adult Female: adult size, older coat with golden brown female belly, unsure about tags. Also a possible lower neck/upper chest scar.

Team R&B arrived at pokai and spotted a very large "fat blimp" hauling up on front rocks. They ID'd Kala RH76. She was very cautious and kept looking around.  She hauled out near an encampment. Hopefully nobody will bother her.  She is looking beautiful and plump.

Next they headed over to Kahe where the saw a group of people pointing at something. Out on the water were two or three seals fighting in the water, swimming by very fast.

One seal had a clean coat, no tags when he tossed his hind flippers in the air. The other was a shadow passing by.

Continuing to check out the area they saw a seal on the rocks. It was RM31 Kai and he was alone. But not for long.

Their waiting around paid off. Finally another seal came in, no tags and a clean coat. The seal was in great condition, adult size. They noticed a ding on his back and that was enough to ID R617 Kimo.
