SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY AUDUBON SOCIETY
About SBVAS
SBVAS strives to bring people to their natural environment. Focusing on birds and other wildlife, we hope to conserve natural resources in the Southern California's "Inland Empire," specifically San Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial Counties.
Founded in 1948, San Bernardino Valley Audubon is southeastern California's leading non-profit engaging people in the conservation of birds and their habitats. We involve people through recreational birding, envelop them in our education programs, and engage them in conservation actions from counting birds to working with local, state, and national policy makers. San Bernardino Valley Audubon is a fully independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Remembering Eugene Cardiff 1929-2025

Christmas Potluck
It is time for our Annual Holiday Potluck. Please note we will be starting earlier at 6:30pm on Wednesday, December 17. Please bring your place setting and cup and a salad, casserole, dish or dessert to share. Please note that there is only a microwave available to warm food. Audubon will provide you with a sandwich and cold beverage. Bring your own beverage if you desire something other than soda.
After dinner, our members, will entertain us with their nature pictures. Often these pics are of birds but anything from the natural world is welcome. If you wish to show and share your pics with us, please bring around 30 or less on a memory stick.
This party is always lots of fun. Everyone is always welcome. Bring a friend and come enjoy the season with your friends and Audubon.

Malibu Lagoon to Point Mugu
Leader: Dori Myers (714) 336-1420
Malibu is always a special place to visit. Meet at the entrance to the Malibu Pier at 8:00 AM, after breakfast. Try to park along the highway on the beach side up a little and across from the Jack In the Box. We will bird the pier and lagoon area in the morning and have lunch on the beach and then we will drive up the coast making several stops along the way. Be prepared for cool to cold conditions on the pier and hope that it warms during the day. We should stay to see the sunset so dress in layers, bring water and lots of snacks and a lunch. A spotting scope would be useful.
