 Banded Stilt Breeding Area
Lake Ballard is a significant part of the region's salt lake system. It is a breeding habitat for species of water fowl, as well as the Banded Stilt when heavy rain causes a special type of brine shrimp to hatch in the lake, attracting the Banded Stilt. It should be pointed out that this is a very rare occurrence, having only occurred approximately seven times in 215 years at Lake Ballard.
