About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – On State Road 3 near the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, two bald eagles scout the terrain from their vantage point atop a pole. There are 18 active eagle nests within Kennedy's boundaries, including several in the vicinity of the landing strip. Bald eagles mate for life, choosing the tops of large trees to build nests, which they typically use and enlarge each year. Nests may reach 10 feet across and weigh half a ton.
