The Strzelecki Desert Lakes Important Bird Area is an Important Bird Area (IBA) in the Australian state of South Australia which consists of a series of ephemeral waterbodies in the arid Strzelecki Desert in the state's Far North region.
The 2,342-square-kilometre (904 sq mi) Important Bird Area consists of a chain of lakes, of varying levels of salinity, on the lower Cooper and Strzelecki Creeks in north-eastern South Australia.
[1] The site has been identified by BirdLife International as an IBA because it has supported significant numbers of freckled and pink-eared ducks, grey teals, hardheads, Australian pelicans, banded stilts, red-necked avocets and Caspian terns.
It also supports populations of Eyrean grasswrens, black honeyeaters, banded whitefaces, chirruping wedgebills and cinnamon quail-thrushes.
[2] While the IBA has no statutory status, it does overlap the Strzelecki Regional Reserve declared by the South Australian government.
