King of All He Surveys

Sitting majestically atop a utility pole at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a bald eagle is king of all he surveys. Kennedy co-exists with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which provides a habitat for 330 species of birds including bald eagles. A variety of other wildlife–117 kinds of fish, 65 types of amphibians and reptiles, 31 different mammals, and 1,045 species of plants–also inhabit the refuge.
