A bird looks directly into the camera. The bird's head is red on top and white on the bottom. Its eyes are orange-brown. The blue sky makes up the backdrop of this photo. Part of the Vehicle Assembly Building, a rectangular building with a NASA meatball and a US flag on it, can be seen behind the bird.

A NASA photographer took this portrait of a curious sandhill crane on March 24, 2021, near the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Sandhill cranes are just one of the hundreds of types of birds that call the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which shares space with NASA Kennedy, their home.
