Heron Cam

A video camera was set up in March 2006 to take live video in the heron colony near Anacortes WA. Since then, live video was seen in the exhibits at Padilla Bay Reserve Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 5:00. We also have a link on this web page. A fresh image is uploaded to our web page every 60 seconds (when the computer in the exhibits is turned on).
