Birding has been a popular pastime in the Sioux City area since the early 1900’s when the Sioux City Bird Club (SCBC) was organized in 1913.  The purpose of the club was to encourage interest in the identification and study of birds, their flights, migration, habitat and the protection and conservation of natural resources related to birds and other wildlife. Copies of their programs, field trips, bird counts, banquet programs and other activities as well as copies of the SCBC quarterly publication The Dickcissel, have been archived at the Sioux City Public Museum.  This material was donated to the museum by Bob and Phyllis Nickolson.

The SCBC ceased operating as a birding organization.  However, a group of people remained interested in birding, which led to the organization of the Sioux City Chapter of the National Audubon Society.  This group obtained a Provisional Charter from the National Audubon Society. The Sioux City Chapter of the Audubon Society became the Loess Hills Audubon Society (LHAS) when the chapter was officially incorporated by the Secretary of State of Iowa on June 1, 1984.

The Loess Hills Audubon Society generally meets on the first Thursday of the month, from September through May, with chapter outings to the best birding locations within Siouxland taking place every month. For more information, please visit:  https://www.loesshillsaudubonsociety.org
