A pair of American bald eagles occupy a large nest on Kennedy Space Center property in Florida on Sept. 14, 2020. Eagles reuse the same nests each season for several years; once a nest is unusable, the majestic birds will select another tree. The nest shown has been used for approximately 30 years. Kennedy shares boundaries with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which covers approximately 144,000 acres and is home to more than 315 native and migratory bird species, 25 mammal species, and 65 amphibian and reptile species.
