About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The waters of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which shares a boundary with Kennedy Space Center, attract coots, ducks, herons and other water birds as shown here. Coots are readily identified by their slate-gray bodies and conspicuous white bill. They inhabit open ponds and marshes from southern Canada to northern South America. Excellent swimmers and divers, they eat various aquatic plants, but also feed on seeds grass and waste grain on land.
