National Wildlife Refuge		 Pronghorn are a light brown color on their back, which contrasts with their white underbelly. On the wide-open plains, this white belly serves to camouflage the animals.

  Wildlife and Habitat
Continued . . .

Since the reservoir itself fluctuates as much as 50 feet per year, it is difficult to provide cover for waterfowl nesting. Other waterbirds such as willets, American avocets, Wilson's phalaropes, American coots, and great blue herons also use the wetland areas. Upland portions of the Refuge are sagebrush / grassland habitats; they provide habitat for pronghorn, mule deer, rabbits, and sage grouse.
