Holy cow, I can't imagine what it's like to see one in person.
Is it rare to see one, or fairly common this time of year?

We were out off the east end (I think) of Carmon a 2 weeks ago and had a Blue Whale come within 100 yrds of us before it finally disapeared we watched
it come from a long way off we could hear it long before we could see it. It kept comming right at us it was moving real fast comming up to breath
every 10-15 seconds or so then when it got within 100 yrds it went down we never did hear it come up after that. It had to have gone far before it
surfaced. I got a few pics on my disposable camera but havent had them developed yet

blue whales
Saw three spouts yesterday 4/1/2007 from the 7th green on the Nopolo golf course. On one, the animal stayed at the surface for several seconds, and we
saw it well. It was almost certainly a blue. The spouts were perhaps 15 feet high in the air, which is also a good indicator of a blue. We see
finbacks, blues, and unidentified spouts often from the course, out in the Canal de las Ballenas that runs between Isla Carmen and Nopolo.

We saw a blue whale Tuesday, south of Danzante. Close enough that our captain had to throttle down. It showed his back, then an enormous tail, then
submerged and we didn't see him again.
We saw several spouts that day too south of Monserrat.

Is that a petroglyph? A petroglyph of a whale?

Ballenas...whales.
yup... whale cave depictions...we have quite a few around Conception Bay...Painted Canyon on the peninsula has a whole wall devoted to whales...also
Rancho Trinadad here..
The only thing is, you have to get wet to see them...
Kudos, Jorge.
