Sorry, it doesn't work like that. Those are voluntary contributions taken from your Calif refund or added to your tax due and are for tax year 2017. You cannot turn around and take them in your federal return for 2016 because you didn't contribute to them in 2016. If you donate on your 2016 Calif return, your 2017 federal return will pick them up as charitable contributions when you use the year-to-year tax file transfer facility in TurboTax.
The California Sea Otter Fund is my favorite but they're all worthy of consideration.
