🦅 Happy National Eagle Day! Today we celebrate with Kennedy’s resident family of bald eagles – two adults and two fuzzy eaglets – who spent this spring thriving in the wildlife refuge at America’s premier multi‑user spaceport. National Eagle Day is celebrated annually on June 20 to honor the bald eagle, the United States’ national symbol, and to promote its conservation.
