Join us for a powerful morning of remembrance, nature, and cultural history as WorldBeat Cultural Center hosts the 4th Annual Harriet Tubman Freedom Birdwatch in honor of Juneteenth and the legacy of Black resistance and liberation. This year’s experience will take place in and around WorldBeat Center’s gardens, where participants will engage in guided birdwatching, cultural storytelling, and hands-on learning. In partnership with Celebrate Urban Birds and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, we’ll be using the Merlin Bird ID app to identify local birds by sight and sound. We’ll also reflect on the important role of birds in history—especially how Harriet Tubman used the call of the barred owl as a secret signal during Underground Railroad missions. Event Highlights: - Guided birdwatching using the Merlin Bird ID app and led by the SoCal Bird Nerds and San Diego Bird Alliance - Stories of how the barred owl and other birds were used as coded signals - Native habitat restoration with native planting African Peace Drum Circle - Juneteenth Freedom Soul Food Plate This is more than a birdwatch—it’s a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the deep connection between nature and liberation. Free and open to the public. All ages welcome. Let’s learn, honor, and walk in the path of freedom—together.
