KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A recent addition to the eagle nests in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is seen here in this group of tall pine trees, second from the right, not far from the roadside in NASA's Kennedy Space Center. There are approximately a dozen active bald eagle nests both in KSC and in the refuge, which surrounds KSC. The refuge is a habitat for more than 310 species of birds, 25 mammals, 117 fishes and 65 amphibians and reptiles. In addition, the refuge supports 19 endangered or threatened wildlife species on Federal or State lists, more than any other single refuge in the U.S. Photo credit: NASA/Ken Thornsley
