San Fernando Valley Audubon Society's bi-monthly newsletter, The Phainopepla, is the go-to publication for Valley birders for finding out where to go, what to do and when. We publish a paper version for those who prefer it, and an online version for people on the go who want to read on their mobile devices or just save paper. Check out our events , read about current conservation issues that impact our area and the birds who visit it.
