Gunnison Island is located in the northwest quadrant of the Great Salt Lake in the U.S. State of Utah (41.339° N 112.858° W), approximately 55 miles northwest from Salt Lake City and about 6 miles east from the lake's western shore. Approximately 1 mile long and a half-mile wide, Gunnison Island is best known as an important rookery for the American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchus). The California Gull (Larus californicus) also nests on the island, and occasional nesters include the Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias), Common Raven (Corvus corax), Prairie Falcon (Falco mexicanus), and Rock Wren (Salpinctes obsoltetus).
