Anaho Island
Anaho Island is an island in Pyramid Lake, Nevada, United States, on the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. It is located in the southeastern part of the lake, approximately four miles east of the community of Sutcliffe. The island is home to the Anaho Island National Wildlife Refuge, which protects a colony of American white pelicans, one of the two largest pelican colonies in the western United States. It is uninhabited by humans.
Access to the island is highly restricted—no boats are allowed within 1,000 feet (300 m) of the shores.[1] Anaho Island is a little more than a mile long from north to south and also from east to west at its widest point, and covers 634.43 acres (2.567 km²). The rocky island also has breeding colonies of California gulls, Caspian terns, double-crested cormorants, great blue herons, black-crowned night herons, and snowy egrets.
