Kelly has devoted her life to the bird population in these keys. She works at Crane Point tending whatever is brought in. On premises we saw some of the birds that were unable to be released into the wild. One Osprey was hit by an airplane and sustained severe wing damage. Another hawk was electrocuted, which again injured the wing so that the bird could not be released. About 50% of the injured birds make it and are released back into the wild. The remainder become part of an education program so that children of all ages can enjoy the magnificence of these animals up close.
