A century-long tradition that started as a bird hunt now helps track valuable bird sightings. The Christmas Bird Count put on by the National Audubon Society covers the country and the next birding events are being held in Oceanside Friday. In other news, some people on whale watching cruises have been treated to dramatic views of killer whales hunting off the San Diego coast. Plus, the Worldbeat Cultural Center in Balboa Park has been sharing music, art, dance and Black culture since 1995 and this week it’s hosting a week of events celebrating Kwanzaa.
