Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:50 am to 1:59 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

On the back Lanikai side of LPB were two seals:

R430 (formerly Temp N25): large sub-adult to small adult size, male belly, very green, no tags, has several dark patches on the middle and upper right ventral; and

RV76: recent weaner, light female belly, two red tags.

Where he was yesterday was RK24 Bruno: adult size, older coat, male belly, scar on right rear side and two red tags. 

There were two seals in the front middle of LPB:

Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, new coat, female belly, no visible tags; and

RV50: weaner size, light female belly, three red tags and applied N81 bleach on left front side.

About 20 feet on the Lanikai side of the 3BS was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.

Near the SRI was an Adult Male: adult size, old dark coat, male belly and two red tags.

Team R&B once again found Miss Kala RH76 on the west side. She was at her spot alone and snoozing. They heard a lady yelling and went over to see a woman known to run the seals off and has dogs.

Kala was very alert and moved to a pond. The dog showed up so Team R&B went and talked to her about the dog, she said she understood. So Team R&B gave her the back story on Kala. Team R&B left the site once they saw she and the other dogs left.

They did an afternoon check and Kala was still at the pond. Then she got up and galumphed over to the rocks as the tide was coming in, she left through seal inlet.

Team R&B's only other find today was R407 Kawika. He was on shore and very alert, there were footprints once again close by him.

They stood and watched, there were poles up to his left so he moved more left. Two men came walking, one right pass R407. The other was heading straight to R407, then finally turned around and went around him. Team R&B tried to make a stick zone but the sticks were too soft and kept breaking.  They did their best and then called it a day.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:05 to 2:12 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

On the Lanikai side of LPB was recent weaner RV76: large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

On the berm in the middle of LPB were three seals:

RV50: weaner size, female belly and three red tags; and

RK24 Bruno: adult size, old coat with scar on the right rear side, male belly and two red tags; and

Sub-adult Female: subadult size, new coat, light gray female belly, no obvious tags.

On the 1BS side of LPB was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B were on the west side and spotted a little green seal from afar. They headed over and upon arrival they were able to ID RV20/V24.

They saw Miss Kala RH76 who is almost done with her molt, and looking much better. She had a lot of visitors today, so Team R&B stayed and kept watch. When all the people left, Team R&B left to look for more seals.

While on the road they saw a seal but the traffic was stopped so it took them a bit to get there. When they arrived at the site there were two seals fighting, one sub-adult size, female, who they ID'd as RS32.

She landed, but the smaller seal took off. The other seal was younger, green, dark eyes and two red tags. They weren't able to read the tags, but saw that it was a male.

Lastly they headed over to check on R407 at Nimitz.  He was more to the right of where he had been during his molt. However he is officially done molting and looking handsome. Mahalo to posse pal Carol for keeping an eye on him.

October 3, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

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.
