Saylorville Reservoir

The Saylorville Reservoir is a Globally Important Bird Area as it provides habitat for more than 6% of the biographic population of American White Pelican and up to 10% of the world's Franklin's Gulls, plus continentally important populations of Ring-billed Gulls and Caspian Terns, and nationally significant numbers of Bald Eagles. In the past it has supported globally significant numbers of Common Mergansers and Pectoral Sandpipers.
