About
In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson issued an Executive Order setting aside Anaho Island as a preserve and breeding ground for colony nesting birds. The refuge is part of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation and provides safe nesting habitat for one of the largest colonies of American white pelicans in the western United States. The purpose is for the benefit and protection of colonial nesting species and other migratory birds.
