an optometrist. The term eye doctor refers generally to an ophthalmologist, but is also used informally (and imprecisely) in referring to an optometrist. An ophthalmologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the eye.
Whale Watching Season. The best time for whale watching in Massachusetts is from April to October, although whales have been spotted in Bay State waters as early as mid-March and as late as early November. Whales migrate to Massachusetts to feed on mackerel, herring, krill and other schooling fish that breed in these nutrient-rich waters.
Best Months for Seeing Whales. June, July, August and September are prime time! During the summer, the Humpbacks are here, along with Finbacks, Minkes, and their colorful cousins the Atlantic White-sided dolphin. On our trip to the whale grounds this past June, we saw so many whales that I lost count.
