The Orange County coast draws all sorts of tourists this time of year, but some recent visitors are making a particularly big splash.A trio of sperm whales - believed to be adult males, each about 50 to 60 feet long - has been spotted several times this past week, rare and positive sightings considering that this species' numbers have been depleted and the massive mammals tend to spend a great deal of time in deep water.
