At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, an adult osprey keeps an eye on its young from a pole near the Press Site parking lot.

The VAB and Press Site are located at the Turn Basin in Launch Complex 39, making it an ideal osprey nesting place. The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge overlaps with Kennedy Space Center property and provides a habitat for many types of wildlife, including the osprey, and 330 species of birds.
