Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge is a roughly 2,200 acre bird sanctuary of wetlands, fields, and forest within the Fairbanks North Star Borough, Alaska, partly inside the city limits of Fairbanks. It surrounds the former dairy farm of Charles Albert Creamer, who fed waste grain to migrating birds until his death, after which the State of Alaska purchased the property in 1969 to preserve it as a refuge. More than one hundred bird species pass through the site during migration, and the nonprofit Friends of Creamer's Field now runs a visitor center and year round environmental education programs there.
