Birding

Sibley State Park is probably the best place in the county to look for Passerines, especially Warblers. Sibley was formerly a prairie ecosystem and several prairie remnants are kept intact by the park staff. Birding is as varied here as the habitat with more than 206 different species of birds having been seen.  You can find everything from Wild Turkeys, Ruffed Grouse, Eastern Bluebirds and Field Sparrows to all the expected Woodpeckers. This is also a good location for Cuckoos, Thrushes, Tanagers and Barred Owls.

Nature Programs

Park naturalists provide over 300 nature programs, including walks, slide presentations, talks and demonstrations that will help you and your family explore and experience the beauty of nature as it changes through the seasons.

Special Exhibits

Most nature activities originate from the modern interpretive/trail center that provides three exhibit rooms filled with attractive and interactive displays.
