Superior products set advanced standards

Nikon Sports Optics sponsors the Raptor Project.

Raptor Project founders Jonathan and Susan Wood have assembled a traveling collection of feathered predators that is unrivaled in scope and size anywhere in the world. A master falconer and wildlife rehabilitator, Jonathan brings unique insights, observations and humor to his exciting, riveting, nationally acclaimed shows. Many of the birds in the Raptor Project have permanent handicaps but now have been tamed and trained to educate the public as charming ambassadors of their species and the environments they inhabit. Jonathan works with birds in a wide rage of sizes from small falcons and owls weighing 3-4 ounces to majestic eagles with 6-8-foot wingspans. Featuring 15-20 raptors from diverse habitats at each show, these dynamic, fierce predators capture the hearts of both young and old. Following each show, Jonathan will take some birds outside and fly them.
