You are correct, I mixed those two places up. San Juaquin Marsh in Irvine is where Orange County Audubon has its HQ. Very much agree with you on Bolsa Chica, one of the relatively few places to get good looks at Least Terns, and Huntington Park was where I saw my first Black Skimmers (another species that is very findable some parts of the year around San Francisco Bay)
