March 25, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕  I know Marilyn did view Rabbit Island yesterday (Tues) and today. Unfortunately she is having technical difficulties with her computer. I will post when I receive the emails.

Out on the west side Team R&B did their search. They were happy to finally see a seal in the water foraging. And the water looked better than it has been looking. The seal was RU40 Wai. HE never landed while they were there.

They had an appointment but were able to make a quick stop at the outfall. They spotted two seals foraging together. They couldn't make an ID on either of them other than they were adults. They were reported as Unknowns.
They stop to look at a sign that indicated there was whale carcass in the area.

Before heading out for their appointment they made a stop at plains. There was a male and female on shore. They were having a hard time IDing the male but then they noticed the applied bleach on his side. That's when they figured out it was EG32. They were surprised to see him, as they had never seen him on this beach before.  He was in the company of Miss Aukai RL12. 

After their appointment they went to check out a few spots. They did come across the whale carcass, and weren't sure what type of whale it was. There were lots of sharks in the area. 

Very late in the day they saw a seal landing on shore at electric beach. There were lots of people on shore at the beach and no one moved on out of the way.  The seal was an adult, not sure about tags or its sex. The seal kept moving up on shore and finally people picked up their things and moved.

March 18, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:56 t0 1:36 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.
Between Middle Cliff and the 3BS was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, older coat, yellowish brown male belly and two red tags. He is probably the same male she saw on Monday.
Up from the SRI channel was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size light yellow female belly and two red tags. She is probably the same seal that was in that spot on Monday.
The island has gotten green with all the rain we been getting, and more to come.

Team R&B spent quite awhile searching this morning without finding any seals. Then finally they spotted a male on shore on the west side. It was RU40 Wai and he was alone. They were hoping it was N45.
With all the driftwood on the shorelines its hard to see if there are seals on the beaches.

Team R&B decided to check out plains and were happy to see fat mama to be KG89 Huakai. She was not alone today, R407 was keeping her company. Funny he looks so small compared to her.
Thankfully the lifeguards went above and beyond and set up a zone for them.

They headed back to the west side and this time they found RH76 Kala. She was not there earlier.
She is now at her zen area getting hit by the big waves washing over the area. At times she rolled over, gained some momentum and bears down.  When the sets came through she just stayed in one spot, then moved to her usual spot to sleep.  Hopefully she'll be heading to Rabbit Island to safely give birth.

March 16, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn was finally able to make it out to the pier today. She viewed Rabbit Island from 12:16 to 2:43 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.
On the 3BS side of Middle Cliff was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, tan-gray male belly and two tags.
Near the 3BS was a Juvenile Unknown: smaller juvenile size, two tags and unsure of text.

Near the SRI was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, older coat with some green on the tan female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B had a slow start finding any seals this morning. Finally after a couple of hours of looking they finally found a seal on the west side. The seal was hidden but Team R&B know how to spot them. They were able to ID RU40 Wai.
They got a text from a friend of another seal on the west side.  They went looking and sure enough they found Miss Kala RH76.

They kept looking going along their journey and finally noticed a seal on shore. They walked over and saw it was an Adult Female with no tags. The waves were moving her around, so they had to wait until they could get a better view of her. She finally moved and saw that she had a lot of CC scars. That's then they knew it was R604. They were happy to see her since its been a long time. She is looking chubby, not huge but chubby.
