A Florida scrub jay flies over shrubbery at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Kennedy shares a border with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, consisting of 140,000 acres of land, water, and marshes. The scrub jay is one of more than 330 species of bird, 117 species of fish, 68 amphibians and reptiles, and 31 different mammals that call Kennedy and its surrounding borders home.
