Fields Pond Audubon Center

Fields Pond Audubon Center is on Fields Pond Road at the Holden-Orrington town line east of Brewer. The sanctuary encompasses 229 acres of fields, wetlands, forest, and lakeshore. The fields are ringed by bluebird boxes and the grasslands support bobolinks and savannah sparrows. The forest contains a variety of warblers, thrushes and woodpeckers.

The nearby Sedgeunkedunk Stream Marsh is one of the best places in the area for early spring waterfowl, many of which remain to nest. Continue driving south along Fields Pond Road to reach the marsh. It is also possible to paddle to the marsh from the center itself. Canoes and snowshoes are available seasonally for rent.

The center also contains a small birding store with books, optics, and supplies. The center is open Tuesday through Friday (and other times when staffed.) The property is open to visitors dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
