221 Repeats, etc. Caught against window inside own garage. 10/4 '38. These two young buzzards were fledglings, barely out of the nest and unable to fly. They were found July 24 1938 by Ethel Simmons, near La Honda, while riding horseback. Their nest was not visible, and the red birds were not seen. Ethel brought them home and fed them raw hamburger, dead birds, etc. They drank water greedily. On August 5th she sent them by express to her sister, Mrs. L. P. Couffer, 1625 Country Club Drive, Glendale, Calif. Mrs. Couffer kept them a short time, and then gave them to the Griffith Park Zoo in Los Angeles.
