Supermoon 2018
Happy New Year from all of us at RTPI! Here was the New Year’s Day supermoon rising out of the water this frigid evening off of Stratford Point. Here’s to a superb 2018 full of gorgeous sights like this one! We have a lot to accomplish this year, and I hope you’ll be with us every step of the way.

Read MoreHalloween Sunset
Can a sunset look like autumn or Halloween? I think so because I think this one does! Today’s cold front will finally make it feel a little more like the actual season for a bit. Be sure to try to enjoy some nature this week whether you go bird watching, for a hike, a stroll in the park, playing with the kids or the dog – something, anything, to help your health and well being in the great outdoors.

Read MoreSunset on Stratford Point
Everyone seemed to enjoy these sunset photos from last week at Stratford Point so I thought I would share them with all of you here, too. It has been so satisfying to see our gorgeous gardens being so busy after a year of hard work by staff and volunteers watering, weeding, planting additions, and maintaining everything we have to offer our pollinators and birds. We are all eager to see what sparrows arrive to feed on the many seeds in our plots during the most sparrow-y month of the year. Scott Kruitbosch Conservation & Outreach Coordinator

This has been a tough winter for sunsets with either inclement weather and overcast skies or often low, dark clouds covering up the sun slipping under the horizon. However, last night was an exception for us at Stratford Point as we were treated to this sight. The snow is gone! Will we be getting more soon instead of setting record highs?

Read MoreNovember Watercolors
One of the advantages of the colder and cleaner air of the late fall and winter is that we often get a better chance to see watercolors painted across our sky with gorgeous afternoon sunsets. We may not have a rainbow of colors on land right now, but we will have plenty to find in the air over the next few months.
