An adult blue heron, at left, and an adult great egret wade along the shore of a waterway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 16, 2022. An alligator swims nearby. The center shares a border with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. More than 330 native and migratory bird species, along with 65 amphibian and reptile species call Kennedy and the wildlife refuge home.
