Master falconer Rodney Stotts has written a book about his life path from drug dealer on the streets of Washington to wildlife expert, hoping to inspire others to take solace in nature.
"I went from 'flipping birds' - selling cocaine - to flying birds, and the destruction that I used to cause in that life," Stotts said. "I'm just trying to make up for it."
Nixon hired nine young helpers from a nearby public housing community, including Stotts. For the next several years, the drug hustler spent his days wading through dirty river water clearing out trash and learning about birds of prey. "He's exactly the same. I mean, full of personality, an amazing, brilliant human being, and I could see that right away," Nixon said about first meeting Stotts in the 1990s.
Thirty years after their first meeting, Stotts and Nixon are passing their knowledge to the next generation.
