Gymnogyps californianus June 13, 1996 Hopper Canyon, Calif. downhill was plainly evident. The stake area swelled unpleasant but not strong. About 10' down the slope was a shin bone & another 5" bone, + a white feather. About 400' down was a humerus - up to then I found perhaps 8 feathers too. The slope was about 20° over somewhat rocky ground. Then a femurcap (?) was also entire, about 1,50' down. Then hair tufts, half a secondary, + a humerus & femur about 200' down where the lunch stopped for a while. That area was broken about 20' wide, more a line, + a knee (?) joint (epiphyses of both bones, still attached) was at N. edge of this area - all bones clean of meat. marked by occasional hair tufts & feathers. Then down a steeper shallow gully about 80', then about 80' more to the upper teeth of one side, their bone disarticulated neatly from the skull. Then small tufts of feathers + down, until at a walnut tree about 400' below the stake. I had to stoop to go under, the solid cover being only about 4' above the ground. Near tree trunk were 2 more large leg bones, ends gone as before. I found a rib & one bone of skull top also near the tree trunk. The trunk was of the trail then veered to N., the Arnold Spring trail being just below this tree & the "fall line" being cluttered with brush. I found a humerus bone & scapula about
