Wild Bird Sanctuary - Florida Keys Wild Bird Center

3 Day Trips from Key West: Islamorada, Dry Tortugas & Key Largo | Condé Nast Traveler

"Spread across seven acres of mangrove wetlands that lead visitors on a boardwalk past rescued bird habitats to the open bay, this facility blends in with its surrounds. It feels wild, not manicured at all, but still safe and comfortable as you walk the boardwalk pathway to the area where it opens to mangrove fringed bay views of the undeveloped shoreline. Some 1,000 birds are rescued and rehabilitated by the facility every year, with many released back into the wild. Barn owls, pelicans, broad-winged hawks, great horned owls, and all manner of shore birds and pelicans are some of the characters you'll see." - Jennifer M. Wood, Terry Ward
