- Lakeside Chat #13: Take a virtual bird walk in the nation's first wildlife refuge with award-winning GG Audubon naturalist Clay Anderson... Winter birds come thousands of miles every winter, some of them, to Lake Merritt in the heart of urban Oakland. Join us as Naturalist Clay Anderson leads a walk to find and learn more about the birds hanging out at Lake Merritt. Clay was awarded Bay Nature's Local Hero Award in 2021 for his inspirational work as Youth Coordinator and Program Manager at the Golden Gate Audubon Society.
