September 13, 2026 Sundays Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:54 to 3:00 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.

RV50 (applied bleach N81) hauled out to the middle of LPB just after Marilyn started viewing: weaner size, yellow female belly, three red tags and N81 bleach.

At 1:57 Marilyn found recently tagged RV76 formerly PO13, playing in the tide pools way out on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB. She appeared to be mouthing things in the tide pool. She then entered the
SRI channel and later hauled out on LPB. She's large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B started on the west side, and they were watching Mr and Mrs Ayla and a friend chop up the Lauhala tree and the milo tree. Lowell knocked both down, sad to see the trees gone after so many years.

As they looked out at the ocean they spotted a seal, nor sure of tags, female and clean  coat. They determined it was RH48 Lei Ola.  

They also watched a plover resting.

Also on the west side resting alone on the rocks was RG28 Lefty. They can see all his cc scars, but still handsome. They noted RG28 was Pohaku's son born on Kauai. And he has many cc scars just like

his mom.

At another spot on the west side they found a green seal resting on the rocks. It was very difficult to read his tag, but they got it. It is Wakea RP28. He is looking good, nothing new to report other than he is still hooked.

Lastly they found RP30 Puka in the same spot. He was alone resting peacefully. There was an Iwa bird flying over them.

August 3, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:24 to 2:48 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Out on the rock flats on the Lanikai side of the island was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner size, at least two red tags, light (maybe female) belly. There may be a  bleach number on the left side RV50 does have a N81 bleach.

Near the LPB channel was RH76 Kala and PO13. Kala and pup did swim in  the LPB channel for an extended time and then hauled out

and the pup nursed. At one point Marilyn could see the milk coming out of the pup's nose. Both seem to be doing fine.

On the 1BS side of LPB was an Adult Female 1: adult size old darker coat, female belly and at least on and probably two tags.

At 1:51 pm, Weaner Unknown 2 hauled out of the SRI side of the 3BS. W/U2 had at least one and probably two tags and light belly (male?)

About 35 feet on the Lanikai side of the SRI channel was a Sub-adult

Female: sub-adult size, older coat, just starting to molt (about 20%) on the upper chest, and at least one tag and probably two.

Closest to the SRI channel was Adult Female 2: adult size, new coat two red tags.

Later both SF and AF2 hauled out onto the beach.

When Marilyn got back to her car she saw from afar a seal. So on the way out she stopped on the side of the road and viewed the seal from 3:16 to 3:42 pm.

Initially Marilyn thought the seal to be a Juvenile Unknown. She did not see the ventral and no apparent tags.  The seal  has a slight scar on the middle side of its left nostril.  Marilyn later was told the seal is a weaner although there is no identification as to which weaner.

Team R&B checked out the west side. They found RP28 Wakea and he was alone. He entered the water and they thought he left but he was just cooling off because he landed again.  He didn't show his mouth enough to see if the hook was still there.

Over by the outfall they spotted an Adult seal foraging. They never got a good shot of its hind flippers for tags. There seemed  to have a small scar on its head. 

Once again they watched the dolphins doing what they do best.

Last stop was at plains. When they arrived they saw the signs up by Tower 1 and there was Marvin RT06 snoozing. He flipped over to the right then to the left. They wonder if he'll start his molt soon.

RT06 remained on shore in a nice zone ser up for him and has quite the fan club.
