RLT board members recently shared photographic evidence of wildlife in Rensselaer County. The bear tracks were found in the oh-so-persistent snow of the Rensselaer Plateau, the scavenging bald eagle was spotted near Cropseyville, and the barred owl, maybe one of Athena's, was a visitor to the Russell Sage campus in downtown Troy.

Your support helps us preserve habitat for wonderful animals like these. If you, too, are lucky enough to see them, please remember to observe them from a safe distance, for their safety and yours.

One of our board members jokingly credited his luck in wildlife sightings to his involvement with RLT. See our outings and events pages for many enjoyable ways to test his theory!
