A whale leaps out of the water in what is called breaching, as seen from a whale watching boat operated by the Pacific Whale Foundation in the channel off the town of Lahaina on the island of Maui in Hawaii on Sunday, Jan. 23, 2005. Whale watching season in Hawaii is December to May, with peak season around January and February. An estimated 4,000 to 5,000 humpbacks migrate some 3,000 miles from the frigid North Pacific to warm Hawaiian waters to breed and calve. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)
