Laurel Hill has a diversity of habitats, and with that comes a variety of birds and mammals. The raven and wild turkey are frequently seen on this mountain. The hermit thrush, Canada warbler, brown creeper, and winter wren all nest near the bog at Spruce Flats. During the summer, black-throated and blue warblers, solitary and red-eyed vireos are seen. Raptors on the mountain include the broad winged, red tailed and red shouldered hawks, along with barred owls.
