Sioux City (IA) Christmas Bird Count

saturday, december 20, 2025

Feeder Watchers as well as car birders and bird walkers & hikers are welcome to participate. Keep track of the exact times, the length of time birded, the distance covered by foot and by car - important information for Jerry’s statistics. Coordinate your birding locations with Jerry Probst, the compiler - so that all areas within the birding “circle” in Iowa are birded for the final count. Jerry tabulates the final results after the sun goes down, around dinner time.

To participate and coordinate your birding efforts:

Contact the compiler, Jerry Probst at 712-490-8256.
