Large Anderson Mesa natural lake in Coconino National Forest—part of the Global Important Bird Area for Pinyon Jay and a major Arizona waterfowl migration stop. AZGFD wetland restoration at the Long Lake complex has improved seasonal water retention; open grassland-pond mosaic also supports pronghorn and diverse dabbling ducks when moisture is good.
