Besides Bruce’s ongoing photo album, there are also the following three
*live* views of the herons:
1. http://www.cs.washington.edu/heroncam redirects to a cambot located
on the sixth floor that watches the nest. This one is simple: point your
web browser at that URL and enjoy. There are three selectable preset
positions: a view zoomed into the nestlings, a wide view, and a view
that includes the attending parent. Bruce Hemingway helped set that up.
2. CSE staffer Fred Videon has established an HD video feed from the
same sixth-floor location that is truly stunning– if you are on a
network that supports multicast. Basically, that means most “research
networks” such as the one on campus and at some large companies, but
almost certainly not your home internet service. This one is less simple
to use, but if you have the cross-platform open-source VLC viewer
installed, you can do it thus:
1. Open the viewer.
2. Select “open network stream” from the Media menu.
3. Select UDP as the protocol, 233.0.73.67 as the IP address, and
1234 as the port (that’s the default).
4. Click “Play.”
If it displays, you are good; if not, probably you aren’t in a location
that supports multicast.
3. Your own eyeballs! Work best from a high floor at the EE end of the
building. An excuse to visit your advisor?

I added a caption for the date the photo was taken.
