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.
