GREAT
BLUE HERON CAM ONLINE
The
Skagit County Marine Resources Committee (MRC) has recently partnered with the
Skagit Land Trust and the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve on
a project to improve the accessibility of images from the live Heron Wildlife
Camera. The heron colony at Marchs Point is believed to be the largest
nesting area for Great Blue Herons in all of Western North America. Previously
images could only be viewed on site at the Padilla Bay Interpretive Center.
With the assistance of the Skagit County MRC and the Northwest Straits Commission,
these images can now be viewed online from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm PST.
