The lake shore provides resting and feeding grounds for millions of migratory birds, including blue herons, cormorants, geese, and many duck species. Most birds land in one of the five bird sanctuaries that border the lake. The largest, the Bear River Refuge, is located at the mouth of the Bear River. During late summer, as many as two million birds may be found at the Bear River refuge alone, including the largest Whistler Swan population in the United States. Lake levels are important to the bird refuges. When the lake rises above the 4,202-foot level, brackish water invades the sanctuaries and upsets the food chain. When the lake drops below the 4,196-foot level, the marshes dry out and small animals can prey upon the birds. ===

Red Rock Pass consisted of loose sand and gravel. Escaping water washed away this material, deepening the channel and causing the water overflow to increase rapidly. The flow of water through the pass is estimated to have been three or four times the amount of water flowing through today's Amazon River. Red Rock Pass continued to erode for about 25 years until the water reached a layer of resistant limestone, and the lake stabilized at the Provo level, about 400 feet lower. ===

Much of the video material was videotaped on location throughout the state of Utah, giving the student and interested viewer valuable field trip experiences. === Viewed from Wasatch Mountains. Today, what remains of Lake Bonneville is the Great Salt Lake, a shallow lake located at the bottom of the Bonneville Basin. At 4,200 feet above sea level, the lake averages only 13 feet in depth. The highest lake level in modern times, recorded in 1873, was 4,212 feet above sea level. The lowest level, recorded in 1964, was 4,192 feet. But since the lake has a gentle slope, a small difference in lake level makes a big difference in the area the lake covers. In 1873, for example, the lake covered 2,250 square miles. It normally covers between 1,100 and 1,500 square miles. Yet, the average depth has fluctuated within a range of only 20 feet. ===
