May I have two?! I am lucky enough to live in a house which faces Woodland and I am visited by Roe Deer everyday. They are so beautiful, and I absolutely love the majestic quality of whales in the Wild.

No\n\nA quote from a presentation to “The Whale in Science and Culture” symposium at Western Oregon University, Monmouth, Oregon, January 21, 2005\n\n"We love whales because they are gentle, in spite of their large size. We think we see a quizzical twinkle in their eyes, and maybe we do. Whale’s eyes are located directly above the corners of their lips, near the shoulders. They are small, about the size of a grapefruit in right whales and sperm whales. The eyelids, though present, are so swollen with fatty matter that they are practically immobile. There are no eyelashes. So the eye is there looking back at us curiously—or at least we think so."

I believe the Department of Consumer Affairs handles optometric licensing in the state of California. They used to be on Howe Ave. in Sacramento but I believe they moved to the Natomas area (near Arco Arena). You can look them up on the web.

Yes, I live in a suburban area close to the coast in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Some years ago, excavations were made in order to install sewers (believe it or not, we were not connected to the public sewer system then!) and the workers dug up large fragments of fossil whales. I only have a fragment that could be part of a humerus, but more complete whale skeletons often appear when people around here construct large swimming pools. \nThese bones are not of much paleontological interest, though. They're much too "new" and do not correspond to any uncommon or interesting species.

When I was on holiday this summer in Scotland I went to the Island of Muck (I may have spelt that wrong if so Sorry) it is on the west coast.  It was the hottest day in record in Scotland 30C.  We went to a beautiful white sand beach where we found a number of cows some of which were a paddling in the sea with us. Very odd. So, yes I do believe they like to be beside the seaside, in the sea.\nThanks

There are some beautiful spots to surf along the Central Cal coast--Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Cayucos, Willow Creek, the beach at San Simeon.

I charter fish out of Panama City Beach Fl. and I've seen it since May. If you haven't seen blue-water this summer ,you need to go further south. 50 miles plus! Good Luck!

No, stomach acids would kill it.\nI do not believe that whales can get it anyway.

Check the yellow pages.\n\nBy the way, are you so parochial that you suppose there is only one "bay area" in the world?

There are several Orca (Killer) Whale pods to be found around the area, such as the K pod, L pod, and J pod. The K pod and the L pod leave the sound during the winter, and usually return around late May or early June, however this year at the beginning of March, the two orca pods made a surprise late-winter appearance in Puget Sound. A March appearance of L pod has never been reported, and some researchers say it is further evidence of strange and dangerous conditions in the Pacific Ocean. Only the J pod can be expected to be found in and out of the Puget Sound throughout winter.\n\nThese pods have been studies for close to 30 years. The members of the pod are all closely related to one another, and the adult males remain with their family for life. Over 50 members make up the K and L pods.\n\nOver the years, the mortality rates of the whales have increased. The population of salmon in their home waters has decreased due to habitat destruction, overfishing, and damming. \n\nPuget Sound's orcas were labeled as endangered as of February 2006.\n\nHope this helps!

I hear Catalina Island is pretty great with moderate visibility. Monterey bay is amazing for the sealife, but the water is cold, and the visibility is low.
