Partial
Proceeds and Silent Auction to benefit the Marathon Wild
Bird Center has been located at the Museums of Crane Point
Hammock in Marathon at mile marker 50 since 1995. This
not-for-profit wildlife rehabilitation facility rescues,
rehabilitates and releases sick, injured and orphaned wild
birds found throughout the Middle Keys. Over the last 15
years it has admitted and treated over 10,000 birds from
tiny warblers to majestic bald eagles. Mostly staffed by
volunteers since its origination the facility has grown to
include a fully operational surgical hospital with x-ray
capabilities where local veterinarians donate their time and
expertise to mend broken wings and retrieve ingested
fishhooks. The outdoor areas consist of a large flight
habitat that is a year-round home to permanently disabled
brown pelicans and double-crested cormorants and a variety
of display habitats for educational raptors such as a
burrowing owl, red-shouldered hawk, peregrine falcon and
osprey. In addition, a naturalized songbird habitat offers
an up close view of an assortment of passerines featuring
several threatened white-crown pigeons. Open during regular
museum hours for viewing the Center’s rescue efforts are
available at no-charge 7 days a week, 365 days a year. For
