==== Alabama ====
*[[Gaillard Island]], is an artificially created island located in Mobile Bay near Mobile, Alabama. It was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, using sand and mud dredged from the Mobile Bay ship channel and elsewhere. The island is an important site for colonial nesting seabirds and shore birds in coastal Alabama and has been the only nesting site for brown pelicans (''[[Pelecanus occidentalis]]'') in Alabama - first discovered in 1983.
