I’m not sure that I’ll see much wildlife, but right away a small lizard jumps out on the sidewalk, and I smile. Small pipers run the beach, much whiter feathers than those back home. Egrets line the causeway on the way to the space center, bright in our headlights that cut through early morning. A kingfisher sits on a fence, its beak a fine point. Hawks perch on the telephone wires, scoping out the marshland. Two dolphins play in the shallow water by the road as we wait for the drawbridge to lower, their skin the darkest black I’ve seen.
