The Brolga and Magpie Goose find habitat in the sedge swamps of Bowling Green Bay. The park is one of the best places to see the rarely observed Zitting Cisticola. Other bird species include the Whistling Duck, Black Duck, Spoonbill, Ibis and Jabiru. Crocodiles are found in the estuarine and swamp areas.

Famous quotes containing the word fauna:
“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
