July 3, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Team R&B's first find today was at plain where they saw a female seal with lots of green. They thought it looked like KG54/G89. Sure enough they saw her tag it was in face Huaka'i. She was by the surf shack.
Then they spotted another seal as someone called out look! They saw the seal coming in another seal looking quite green. It was RT06 Marvin !! The lifeguards were on it and placed signs up for him.
Much to their surprise there were two more seals on  shore towards the Honolulu end.
After careful observation they ID'd the female as Lei Ola RH48 and the male was R3CX Nalu. There was a zone set up for them. Thank goodness because it was crowded.

Finally they were able to head out to the pup site. They were amazed by the hundreds of people, tents, dogs and fishers in the pup fenced area that the seals are not using.
A netter came and Team R&B were able to talk with him and he left. A man in the zone with a big pit bull, which Team R&B reacted by
putting their hands up to stop.  He asked where he could go with his dog, and a volunteer came over to talk with him.
People in the driftwood area, the small ponds with dogs.
Mom and PO11 were in the little Keiki pond near the old birth fence. Along the fence was a family tent.
Meanwhile there was a nursing session then sleep. 
Team R&B left the site, in that it was frustrating to watch and they just pray Rocky and PO11 will be okay. Tomorrow going to be a nightmare.

After leaving the pup site, they went back to the west side and were surprised that Yoks was open after months of being closed. There were two seals on shore both males. One of the males very green was RP30 Puka. The other male had no tags and they could not ID so he is reported as an Unknown Male,
The waves kept hitting the unknown male without tags left at 3:30 pm.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 4:36 to 5:05 pm, and there were seven seals seen during that time.
In the middle of LPB was RH76 Kala: large pregnant size and female belly. She has not given birth yet.
Nearby was Juvenile Unknown 1: juvenile size, tags no info in sex.
Between the 1BS and 2BS was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner size and shape no info on tags or sex.
In the middle cliff area was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner size and shape, three red tags, no info on sex.
Down from the 3BS was RM26 Nohea and PO10. They were in snooze mode.
Out on RRB was Juvenile Unknown 2: weaner or juvenile size, light belly, sex and tags unknown. Later JU 2 rolled over and moved a short distance away. The coat appeared to be an older coat.

November 19, 2025 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:00 to 2:58 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
Not seen until 1:23 on the 1BS side of LPB was an Unknown Weaner: weaner size, light yellow ventral, likely female, not sure about tags.
Again on the Makapuu side of 1BS was the molting Adult Male: large adult size, about 70% molted, male belly, did not see tags.
Up from the SRI channel was a Weaner Male: weaner size, light male belly, two red tags.
Out on RRB were two seals:
Adult Female: adult size, light yellow female belly unsure about tags.
Unknown Adult : adult size, newer coat, not sure about sex or tags.

Team R&B first find was their sweet RU04. She is a little darling. Unfortunately she was disturbed in the afternoon, of course the people denied it. When Team R&B rechecked little RU04 had returned. She's a tough little buggah.
Next they saw two seals together foraging. The green seal was male RG32 and the female with clean coat was RH48 Lei Ola. RG32 was after her today. She on the other hand got herself a big fish to eat.
They also spotted a very busy RM31 Kai out there foraging.
Then much to their shock and aw they saw RL12 Aukai foraging. She is known to be in the area every once in a while. Needless to say they were happy to see her today.
Nalu R3CX was seen foraging earlier in the day. Later in the afternoon he had hauled out on the rocks. Then he left and went foraging again.

Team R&B spotted a seal from afar on shore. They were thinking there were at least two. When they got to the area they were thrilled to
find three. And what a trio:
RP28 Wakea with RU40 next to each other.  RU40, he is another cutie pie. They were happy to see him with the others.  
 And then there was RL20 Kalua not to far away.

Over at Kahe they spotted a seal on the rocks, They made their way over and found RL08 looking pretty big.
Their last seal of the day was R407 Kawika, who got harassed by some people on the beach. The folks at the cabin tried to warn them to leave the seal alone. R407 was stayed resting on the beach.
