Great news if one is in or near southern California. There's a lot of sightings of blue whales.

"Scientists estimate there are less than 10,000 blue whales worldwide, but a thriving population of about 2,000 of these magnificent leviathans congregate each summer off the California coast.
This makes the Santa Barbara Channel one of the best places to see the largest animals that have ever roamed our planet. Measuring up to 90 feet and weighing around 150 tons, you hold your breath in awe as these giants surface near your boat." Source
