photographed it. Carrion + Liddy were with him then. They saw one
adult. / On 9 July 1969, Carrion Liddy had also seen a chick there.
(On 10 July they visited Beartrap Cyn. nest site area ). The Mttn.
nest said by El to have been discovered by F. Liddy about Dec, 1966.
Lookout Pero Ferrari had never seen a condor, at that ( then 2
yrs ?). What is evidence for fledging of any of the chicks. Revisted
each year, so probably died. // We filed breakup trial in 1 1/2 hrs.
