About Feather Edge Optics of Cape May Bird Observatory
 

A LEADER IN THE FIELD OF OPTICS

We’re birders, too, and for over twenty years we’ve been a leader in birding optics. Our understanding of birders and their optical needs has been sought by every major optics company and is reflected in many of the most popular instruments on the market today. 

At our stores or online at FeatherEdge Optics you will find a carefully chosen selection of optics to meet your needs and your budget.  What you won’t find is endless lists of product.  At FEO we rigorously test and compare the many makes and models, examining their quality, performance and the manufacturer’s promises.  Only instruments that excel in the birding arena find a place in our line-up; the best of the best.  If you find an instrument here, we stand behind it and we will not sell an instrument that we would not use ourselves.  In addition, we test and examine every instrument before we ship it to you.  It’s the next best thing to coming into our store and testing the glass yourself. 

Our commitment to the birders we serve is absolute because getting the right binocular or spotting scope in your hands isn’t just our job. As part of the New Jersey Audubon Society it is our mission. We take that obligation seriously and thousands of members who have purchased their instruments here will attest to this.
