We've brought on a new label (for us) that offers a wide range of products with some nice choices for entry level and mid-range optics!  Hawke Optics is a UK Brand which was started in their founder's garage 40 years ago.  They first entered the US Market in 2007 and now sell in 60 countries but are still family owned.  Their US Headquarters is in Fort Wayne, Indiana. 

Hawke started with New Jersey Audubon's Cape May Bird Observatory during the 2024 Cape May Fall Festival.  They stepped right up as a sponsor of CMBO's biggest annual event, and participants welcomed them by purchasing a wide range of monoculars, binoculars, spotting scopes, and Smartphone Adapters.   

Hawke offers three levels of optics.  First are the System H2 Vantage and Nature Trek series, with eighteen monoculars and binoculars and six spotting scopes models from an 8x25 Monocular to a 20-60x80 Spotter.  All are priced between $59.99 and $349.99.  Next are the System H5 Endurance ED, which feature ED Gass and Phase Corrected Prisms; within the range are twenty-one models between $90 and $350.  Finally, the System H7 Frontier HD X, ED X, and APO binocular models all feature dielectric coatings and phase corrected prisms, and all but the HD X have ED Glass.  Ranging from $319.99 to $779.99, they offer strong competition to other optics in the mid-range.

We are grateful that Hawke Optics is one of the sponsors of CMBO's 2025 Spring Watch, which runs from March 1 through May 31.  Stop by the platform at the Coral Avenue dune crossover in Cape May Point, see what's flying by, learn about spring migration at the point, and check out some Hawke optics while you're there!

Then, with CMBO's Northwood Center just five minutes away, stop by and and make your selection!
