The second photos is a tern. i'm not sure what kind but please add it to another spotting because you have two different species in one "spotting"

With how orange this bird is I would say it's an American Kestrel, but can't be sure because of the photo quality.

Desmond.E.S.O Mitred Parakeets
Mitred Parakeets commented on by Desmond.E.S.O California, USA7 years ago

This is either a Mitred Parakeet, or a Red-masked Parakeet. Both are similar but the Red-masked has red on it's shoulderes, and also is a bit louder than the Mitred. Typically when I see Red-masked they are in big groups usually in the top of a tree or flying as a flock. I've only seen Mitred a couple of times and they were for the most part by them selves. I don't seem to see any red on the shoulder, so my best guess would be Mitred. Since this bird was also seen near Longbeach, CA. Then that would pretty much confirm it's a Mitred. Nice Photo! They're Lovely birds

Great Spotting! I have seen many Surf Scoters in my life but never one sitting on a mudflat/shore like that, only swimming.

Definitely an Eared grebe, i've seen lots there. I love Bolsa Chica, we live about an hour from it.
