Bog Brook WMA, like so many other prime birding sites in Maine, is owned and managed by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (DIF&W). Great Blue Heron, Osprey, and Bald Eagle nest here, making Bog Brook Wildlife Management Area (WMA) a vitally important site. These large fish-eating birds are attracted by the flooded, dead timber, where fish commonly seek shade and shelter.
The impoundment hosts Common Loon, American Black Duck, Hooded Merganser, Wood Duck, and Ring-necked Duck. Common Snipe and Spotted Sandpiper frequent the edge habitat, and Northern Harrier fly over the impoundment. Red-winged Blackbird and Common Grackle sit in the shrubs alongside the impoundment, and Tree Swallow dart about, picking mosquitoes and blackflies out of the air.
