In celebration of Black Birders Week, the WorldBeat Cultural Center, in partnership with the San Diego Bird

Alliance, hosted a vibrant community bird outing on May 31st at Chollas Lake Park. The event welcomed families, first-time birders, seasoned bird enthusiasts, and nature lovers, all coming together to enjoy a morning of birdwatching, connection, and learning.

Participants spotted a variety of birds including ospreys, American coots, mourning doves, and house sparrows.

Special thanks to Tammah Watts and Olivia for generously sharing their birding knowledge.

Black Birders Week, created by Black AF in STEM, honors Black joy, presence, and leadership in nature, and we look

forward to more gatherings that continue

this celebration.
