在野花间吹口哨

Two black-bellied whistling ducks walk through a field of wildflowers at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 19, 2023. The center shares a border with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.

Merritt Island’s strategic location along the Atlantic Flyway provides a resting and feeding place for thousands of wading birds, shorebirds, and songbirds; more than 330 native and migratory bird species call Kennedy and the wildlife refuge home. Diverse habitats that include brackish marshes, saltwater estuaries, and hardwood hammocks provide homes to an amazing diversity of more than 500 species of wildlife.

2023年5月19日，两只黑肚皮的鸣鸭走过佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心的野花地。该中心与梅里特岛国家野生动物保护区接壤。

梅里特岛位于大西洋鸟类迁徙路线的战略位置，为成千上万的涉禽、滨鸟和鸣禽提供了休息和觅食的地方；超过330种本地和候鸟以肯尼迪和野生动物保护区为家。包括半咸水沼泽、咸水河口和硬木吊床在内的各种栖息地为500多种野生动物提供了令人惊叹的多样性。
