Mono Lake State Natural Reserve, situated in California, is recognized for its unique ecological features. The reserve encompasses Mono Lake, a high-salinity body of water, renowned for the presence of tufa towers—limestone formations resulting from the interaction between freshwater springs and alkaline lake water.
One of the reserve's ecological highlights is its role as a vital habitat for migratory birds. During migration seasons, Mono Lake becomes a crucial stopover for thousands of birds, including California gulls and eared grebes. Mono Lake State Natural Reserve is managed with a focus on preserving its unique geological and ecological features.
