About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — A glossy ibis is waiting for prey to swim by in this pond near Kennedy Space Center. This species inhabits marshes, swamps, flooded fields, coastal bays and estuaries, ranging along the coast from Maine to Florida and Texas. Along the coast it feeds mostly on fiddler crabs, but also may eat insects and snakes, including the poisonous water moccasin. KSC shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which surrounds it.
