CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. –– The scarlet-feathered roseate spoonbill wades through water on NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  Spoonbills inhabit areas of mangrove such as on the coasts of southern Florida and Texas.  These birds feed on shrimps and fish in the shallow water, sweeping their bills from side to side.  This and other wildlife abound throughout Kennedy as the center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.  Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-2009-2845
