CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, an osprey is perched on a weather pole at a helicopter landing site near the Vehicle Assembly Building. Ospreys are a familiar sight at Kennedy because of its close proximity to ponds, lakes and coastal waters, which feed their appetite for fish. Kennedy coexists with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, habitat to more than 310 species of birds, 25 mammals, 117 fish and 65 amphibians and reptiles. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
