真是令人耳目一新

An American flamingo takes a moment to drink water in the Indian River at Haulover Canal on Merritt Island on Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024. American Flamingos are more common in Mexico and Cuba but the winds from Hurricane Idalia relocated them to Florida in September 2023.

The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is northwest of Kennedy Space Center in Florida; Merritt Island’s strategic location along the Atlantic Flyway provides a resting and feeding place for thousands of wading birds, shorebirds, and songbirds. The wildlife refuge is a habitat for more than 310 species of birds, 25 mammals, 117 fishes and 65 amphibians and reptiles.

2024年1月11日，星期四，一只美国火烈鸟在梅里特岛豪洛夫运河的印第安河中喝水。美国火烈鸟在墨西哥和古巴更常见，但2023年9月，飓风伊达里亚将它们转移到了佛罗里达州。

梅里特岛国家野生动物保护区位于佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心的西北部；梅里特岛沿大西洋飞行路线的战略位置为成千上万的涉水鸟、滨鸟和鸣禽提供了休息和进食的地方。野生动物保护区是310多种鸟类、25种哺乳动物、117种鱼类和65种两栖动物和爬行动物的栖息地。
