Eagles Nest at KSC. A southern bald eagle is perched in a tree at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Jan. 20, 2023. After a recent fire burned a tree that housed an eagles’ nest for several years, the birds returned to the area on Kennedy Parkway North and built a new nest in a tree about 60 yards away. Each year, eagles take up winter residence at the Florida spaceport, breeding and raising a new generation. The center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, home to more than 1,500 species of plants and animals, and 15 federally listed species.
