Sioux Falls Bird Club

The Sioux Falls Bird Club, founded in 1922, is a community organization that promotes the love and appreciation for birds in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. With a rich diversity of bird species in the area, the club aims to educate its members and the public about the importance of bird conservation and the role birds play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Two observation areas are maintained by the SFBC. One is the wildlife blind at Dewey Gevik Nature Area, and the other is at Good Earth State Park. The club organizes regular birding outings, where members can observe and learn about different species of birds in their natural habitats. In addition, the club hosts events, such as the Annual Christmas Bird Count, workshops, and presentations, to enhance the understanding of bird behavior, migration patterns, and habitat preservation. Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher or just starting to develop an interest in birds, the Sioux Falls Bird Club welcomes all enthusiasts to join their community and contribute to the conservation efforts for these beautiful creatures.
