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.
Between June and November you can watch humpbacks and blue whales, the best time being from June to September. In the waters of Santa Barbara, blue whale sightings are pretty regular, the area being one of the best to see blue whales worldwide. Numerous types of dolphins and occasionally orcas, too, can be spotted here.
