American White Pelicans gather at the base of Pyramid Lake’s Marble Bluff Dam

From Bureau of Reclamation:

American White Pelicans gather at the base of Pyramid Lake’s Marble Bluff Dam located near Nixon, NV, for a feast of spawning cui-ui. Cui-ui, a large sucker fish endemic to Pyramid Lake, were declared endangered in 1967, after agricultural diversions dried up much of the fish's habitat. 

Cui-ui have a special cultural significance to the Pyramid Lake Piute Tribe. #DidYouKnow #Pelican#wildlife Photo by Reclamation GIS Specialist Jo Moore.
