Title	Anaho Island National Wildlife Refuge Scenic
Creator	Pitts, Alexandra
Description	Anaho Island Refuge is a rocky island that rises from the waters of Pyramid Lake in Washoe County, Nevada. The refuge was established for the benefit and protection of colonial nesting species and other migratory birds. It supports breeding colonies of American white pelicans, double-crested cormorants, California gulls, Caspian terns, great blue herons, black-crowned night-herons, and snowy egrets. The pelican colony is one of the two largest in the western United States. Anaho Island Refuge is closed to public access to protect colonial nesting birds, and boating is also prohibited within 500 feet of the island. The refuge is visible from any point along Pyramid Lake.
