"Many of Doheny's visitors -- campers, beachgoers, bicyclists and picnickers -- hurry past our modest creek (San Juan Creek) mouth, apparently unaware of the treasures that lurk at the edges of the tall grass. Maybe this is because, at first glance, it appears that the birds in the marsh are 'just a bunch of gulls'. A closer look, combined with a little patience, will often reward the observer with a vast array of birds, a satisfying experience for both young and old...The best time for birdwatching at Doheny is in the winter when many bird species migrate."
