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

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 5, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:07 to 2:21 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Initially on the Lanikai side of LPB was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, green coat, female belly and two red tags. She later moved further back and then returned to her original location.

On the berm of LPB was RK24 Bruno: adult size, old coat, N32 applied bleach on right side and male belly.

At some point Weaner Unknown 1: appeared behind RK24: weaner size, light yellow ventral, no ingo on tags or sex.

On the 1BS side of LPB nearer the water was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, new coat, female belly and no info on tags.

Just hauling out of the SRI channel when Marilyn arrived was Weaner Unknown 2: large weaner size, light belly, no info on tags. This is probably RV76 based on its size, but Marilyn couldn't confirm a female belly.

Team R&B first find on the west side was RH76 Miss Kala. She was alone today resting in her zen pond. 

Then they saw something in the distance, looked weird but as it got closer it was a molting seal. They ID'd R3CX Nalu foraging and they could see his molting fur washing off into the water. Then he was gone.

They decided to go check where he's been hanging out of the past week. Ta Da! there he was like he had been there all along. But Team R&B knew better.

Its been a while but they did get to see some dolphins at play.

By the outfall they noticed a green seal foraging. They ID'd RM31 Kai out there again. Suddenly there was a second seal with a clean coat, one tag. An adult, who they believe is Aukai RL12.

Lastly they went to nimitz and found R407 Kawika alone. He was

resting down low to the water pushing his snout in the sand, then he got hit by a big wave. Surprised him and he went up higher after that. Today he seemed bothered, like he was alert to something, kept looking around.
