Dailies from June 20, 2026 Saaturday

Marilyn and Team R&B💕 were out on Saturday.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:23 and 2:15 pm and there were ten seals seen during that time. On the rock flats Lanikai of LPB were RM26 Nohea and her pup PO10. Later, one of the male weaners and then the other male weaner showed up on the rock flats. Both of the male weaners (RV68 and RV70) moved closer to RM26 and her pup. Marilyn saw one feeding. She was glad to see both of the male weaners, since she had only seen one in the last few days.

About 30 feet Makapuu side of the 3BS were three seals, the same ones that were in that area yesterday. There was juvenile female RU38, who is larger than one would guess. Another sub-adult female nearby; she has a light female belly, not sure about tags. Near the two female was a sub-adult to small adult male with a mottled male belly and no visible tags. Marilyn thinks this might be R430, but she isn't sure.

About 50 feet closer to the SRI, on the waterline was the other weaner, female RV50. She later entered the water and Marilyn lost track of her.

Out on the rock flats near the SRI channel were two adult seals:

Adult Female was RK38 (mom of RV68): adult size, scar on her lower neck and two red tags. Nearby was an adult male who was ID'd as RK24 Bruno by applied bleach N33. HE was after RK38 and appeared to be trying to mate with her. The pair ultimately made their way down the shore clear to LPB.

Team R&B first find on the west side was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was coming up on the rocks, she is huge. She didn't like the crabs around her and kept whooping at them.

Next they stopped off to check in on Rocky and PO11.  Most of their visit the two of them were sleeping. Then a plastic water jug with fishing gear floated up to the pup. It appeared there were lines attached to the jug some which were on the pup and Rocky at times.

Pup investigated the jug right away, mouthed it, thankfully a wave took it away.

PO11 went for a swim at 3 pm and stayed in the water for 18 minutes, then back to mom. Who had been calling the pup.

Then....  a small dog appeared in the zone and walked all the way through passing mom and pup. Team R&B tried calling the dog  but so many people went down big tree by bunkers. Team R&B let the volunteer know.

May 12, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn visited Kaimana Beach this morning between 10 am and 12 noon. 

After she arrived there she got a message that RP20 was closer to Kapahulu Groin so she walked over. RP20 is a female seal from Kauai that R&B have been seeing frequently on the west side since Aprtil 5th. Smaller size, sweet face, two red tags, female belly and small line scar on lower left nick area. There was an SRA set up and a monitor on site.

Marilyn returned to Kaimana Beach where R416 Makli'i was snoozing on the down slope of the beach. Marilyn could see the N34 applied bleach that was applied last Thursday on Rabbit Island, but it was hard to read.  Then RK24 Bruno hauled out to visit with R416. RK24's N33 applied bleach on his right side was easily visible.

Then Marilyn wandered over to OCC to try and get a better view of RK96 Kaiwi and her pup PO8. The pip was in the water and mom was on the beach. Mom vocalized several times and then finally entered the water for a swim with the pup. RK24 came looking for them, but did not see them in the water and left, hauling out later near the life guard stand. Kaiwi and her pup look good. 

Marilyn also viewed Rabbit Island from 12:50 to 2:06 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

On LPB were MO3 and her pup PO3. MO3 is looking thinner, while PO3 is growing. Marilyn was able to see PO3's red Allflex tag and applied 3 bleach. She observed one nursing session and no swimming.

Just as Marilyn started viewing RF34 Pua and her pup PO5 were hauling out between the 1BS and 2BS after a swim. PO5 moved up behind mom and she didn't see much more of PO5. Marilyn did see the top of the applied 5 bleach on the pup.

RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 appeared to have just started a swimming session when Marilyn started viewing. They didn't haul out until 1:30 pm. Both mom and pup seem fine. PO4's red Allflex tag was visible but not the applied 4 bleach.

Out on the rock flats between the SRI channel and RRB was a Sub-adult Female: larger sub-adult size, older coat, yellow female belly with some green and at least one red tag. The SF was in the same place that she reported an UU yesterday, probably the same seal.

Team R&B searched as much of the west side that they could. Seems many of the seals have left the west side and are visiting the east side.  

They spotted an adult seal foraging off the jetty and then off the Heiau. It had red tags and lots of green, line scar on top of its head. They believe this is RL20, but just wasn't sure.

Next after much searching they finally found Miss Kala RH76. She
was alone snoozing near seal inlet.

On the lower rocks was sweet little RU12, also snoozing.

Then Team R&B saw a turtle washed up on the rocks, and the next wave took him off.  Nature is amazing.
