Does #Elon think that since #MINWR is near #KSC that he should launch near a wildlife sanctuary? MINWR came after KSC, and NASA has increased measures to protect wildlife from its activities.
Musk doesn't care.

The #gaillardia, or Blanket #Flower, is native to the #Americas. It’s widespread across the #Americas, including at the #Merritt #Island #Wildlife Refuge, where it flourishes in the salt #marsh. The #blooms are widespread and bright throughout #MINWR. #BlanketFlower, #Wildflower, #FlowersOfMastodon, #Photography, #Photograph, #Photograph

A group of Roseate Spoonbills flying over the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refugee.
Their bright #pink feathers make them very clear against the white #clouds and blue #sky.
#RoseateSpoonbills gain their pink coloration from eating a certain crustacean containing a pigment. Flamingos gain the color from the same process.

The Cinnamon #Fern is named for its resemblance of its tall, #spore-bearing #fronds that take on the appearance and texture of #Cinnamon bark.
It grows natively in the #Americas from Canada to #Florida and the Caribbean and as far south as Peru.
In Asia, it grows from Siberia to as far south as Thailand. It thrives in low-lying, marshy areas, such as the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.

#MarshMadness: Two Blue-winged #Teal #ducks at #MINWR circle each other in the #marsh. Blue-winged teals feed by dunking their heads in shallow water and “#dabbling” up vegetation and small mollusks from the water’s bottom.

#SynchronizedSwimmers at #MINWR. Blue-Winged Teals #forage for food by #diving headfirst into the shallow #marsh #water to nibble up, or #dabble, the #vegetation and small #insects on the water’s floor. This male and female pair are swimming in circles like they’ve been trained. They even dived together.

Four #Gaillardia or #BlanketFlowers at #MINWR. The #MerrittIslandNationalWildlifeRefuge hosts many diverse #species of #flowers, #insects, #birds, and others.
MINWR is administered by the #DOI on behalf of #NASA, which does not use most of the island, and so the rest is given over to be a #WildlifeRefuge.

#MarshMadness: Two #BlueWinged #Teal #ducks are #feeding from a #pond inside the #MerrittIsland National #Wildlife Refuge #MINWR.
#Teals feed by diving their heads underwater, sometimes leaving their tails and legs kicking above the water, as they eat the underwater vegetation and small mollusks.

The #MerrittIsland National #Wildlife Refuge or #MINWR occupies the northern parts of Merritt Island, north of Kennedy Space Center #KSC’s operational area.
The #brackish #marshes and #wetlands attract an enormous number of #birds of many #species, like #roseate #spoonbills, white #ibis, and #herons.
They are unique #habitat and unique to #photograph.
