Palisades
Bald eagles and great blue herons nest
and rear their young in trees not far from
the river and reservoir and return to them
year after year. The magnificent osprey
nests on dead tree tops, or artificial
structures like those west and north of
this site.
Brown trout, Snake River fine-spotted
cutthroat trout, whitefish, lake trout, and
other fish inhabit the waters of Palisades
Resdervoir and the Salt River. These fish
are important to man as a source of
recreation and to wildlife as a source of
food.
River otters, bald eagles, osprey, great
blue herons, and whtie pelicans depend
on fish. Groups of pelicans are often
seen herding chubs and suckers into
shallow waters for easy capture.
