August 29, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:18 to 2:57 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.
In the middle of LPB were two seals:
Recent Weaner PO13: large weaner size, female belly and not tagged yet.
Weaner Male: weaner size, male belly and probably three tags. This could be RV68.
Down from the 3BS was an Adult Male: small adult size, male belly, no visible tags and about 20% molted.
Out on RRB was a Juvenile Female: juvenile to small sub-adult size, light female belly, at least two red tags.

Team R&B started on the west side their first find was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was well hidden and looking a little thin, but okay.
Also on the west side was Kai RM31 laying down on the hot rocks. He is looking healthy and handsome with a friendly crab on him.

Over by the outfall were two seals foraging. The bigger seal and the other was the mystery green seal. They were able to ID the bigger seal as Aukai RL12.  Both seals heading in the KoOlina direction.

Next stop was at plains, where they found RT06 Marvin. He was resting peacefully and is just one adorable little guy.

Heading back to the west side they decided to make a stop to see if
RS32 was around. And they were thrilled to find her again. She is a big girl, with a clean coat, perhaps she went through a molt recently.

Their next stop was at cliffs where they spotted two seals. Needless to say they were quite happy. The first one is a very green RP30, with his right side puka.
And then there was a newly molted Lei Ola RH48.
Then much to their surprise there was another seal. It was in the water bobbing up and down at all the inlets. They watched trying to get an
ID, the seal passed by RH48 and RP30 who were on the rocks. Then the seal went through a crevice and hauled out. It galumphed over the rocks. Finally Team R&B saw there were no tags, and a scar over the seals eye area, which gave them enough info to ID RG32.
They called it a day after this long hot walk.

August 26, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:20 to 2:23 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
On the Lanikai side of LPB were three to four seals.
PO13: recent weaner size, dark dorsal, light female ventral and no tags.
Adult Male: adult size, dark dorsal, thin body, male belly no visible tags.
There were one to two weaners also seen:
Weaner Female: weaner size, female belly, no info on tags
Weaner Unknown: weaner size, unknown sex and no tag info.
On the Makapuu side of the Middle Cliff area was a Juvenile Female: large juvenile to small adult size, female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B started their day on the west side. They spotted a seal on the rocks with no tags. They ID'd R617 and he is looking healthy and robust. 

Next they headed over to plains, where they found KG54. She was alone resting on shore in a zone set up for her. HFD was in the area practicing. 

They received a text about a seal at paradise cove. They had an
appointment but went to check it out when the finished. There was RP28 Wakea in the lagoon. Folks gathered on shore, and one guy told them to clear the area so the seal could come to shore. RP28 came ashore after many rolls in the water, then headed to the rocks and hauled out. Seems he was dreaming about females.

Heading back to the west side they stopped by the outfall. They saw two seals in the water foraging. Both were adults one with a lot of green and the other was RL12 Aukai.

Back on the west side later in the day they didn't see any seals. They stuck around for a while and sure enough a seal was hauling in fast. It was R617, who they had seen earlier. He was looking around then went to front of the rocks, landed looked around and left again. Seemed like he thought there was another seal in the area. Team R&B kept looking but didn't see any other seals. 
Then out of nowhere another seal came flying by over the rocks and
ponds. They were lucky to get a tags shot and later discovered it was RM31 Kai. Then he left.  
There was another seal far out, but they weren't able to get anything to ID, and the seal disappeared.
After all of that R617 returned and hauled out to the coral rubble and stayed.
