Journal 23 March 1979. Santa Barbara, Calif. on culture. Largely paid for by Western Foundation (Ed Harrison), & run by them. To be 3 days of papers. Some by Mundy, Perrywick (British Univ.), Naustor, Ferrare (France - films), McAdoo (Arden Color), others. Eichen of Patuxent gave only papers by USFWS men, on captive Arden condors.

Ed Harrison showed Pemberton color films & gave comments; invited Ed on us. young condor out of nest. Talked w. Enos of USFWS; he seemed to think no public input required to capture plan for C. Color. Stayed w. Wells Abbott & family; dinner included Drew & Linda McMillan. 25 Mar. 1979. More papers & movies. Talked w. Eichen, who was not in favor of molesting nests, not in favor of capturing all condors. Ike & Smart said radio-telem. would require aircraft monitoring. Smart thought "Draft Recommendation" still under consideration, not in final copy or signed. Talked w. Blauvelt, who is unhappy about lack of scientific use of zoo birds. Nothing controversial discussed (except w. Cros). Met Keith Nelson, who now favors no captures, & will publish article date movie in Imprint, local & Nat. Assoc. journal; Mike MeLevy, DVM, now represents Brief meeting w. Fred Eickel & Bobt. Carter. Wildlife Federation in Calif.; seems to favor no captures. Stayed w. Wells. 26 March 1979.
