A scrub jay perches on a branch near the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 22, 2020. Kennedy shares space with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which is home to more than 65 amphibian and reptile, 25 mammal, 117 fish, and 330 bird species.
At the time this photo was taken, the NASA “meatball” logo – in the background here – on the Vehicle Assembly Building was being repainted. This iconic building is where the Artemis launch vehicles are stacked and processed in preparation for future missions to the Moon.

一只丛林松鸦于2020年6月22日栖息在佛罗里达州NASA肯尼迪航天中心的树枝上，背景是航天器装配大楼（Vehicle Assembly Building，VAB）。肯尼迪航天中心与梅里特岛国家野生动物保护区（Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge）共享这片区域，该保护区是超过65种两栖和爬行动物、25种哺乳动物、117种鱼类以及330种鸟类的家园。
拍摄这张照片时，背景中VAB上的NASA“肉球”标志正在重新粉刷。这座标志性建筑是阿尔忒弥斯（Artemis）任务的火箭在发射前进行堆叠和处理的地方，旨在支持未来的登月任务。
