Mature hardwoods prevail, providing a home to ovenbirds, winter wrens, red-eyed vireos, scarlet tanagers, rose-breasted grosbeaks, eastern wood-pewees, and black-throated blue warblers. Thrushes include equal numbers of hermit, wood, and veery. Other breeding warblers likely to be encountered include black-throated green, black-and-white, and blackburnian. Canada warblers lurk in dense, tangled underbrush. On forest edges, expect American redstarts, and magnolia, Nashville and chestnut-sided warblers, and least flycatchers. The pond offers the additional opportunity to scan for bald eagles, waterfowl, and flycatchers.

The Jamies Pond Wildlife Management Area is 840 acres in size and lies in three communities: Manchester, Hallowell, and Farmingdale. The 107-acre pond is known both as Jamies Pond and Jimmies Pond. The pond was formerly the water supply for Hallowell and, as a result, most of its shoreline is undeveloped. The property is managed by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.

Several foot trails surround the pond and adjacent hills, and the trails are well-marked. Connecting loops form a network that allows hikers to choose shorter or longer walks, all in the easy to moderate difficulty range. The Maine TrailFinder website has a description and map of a hike at Jamies Pond.
