Gymnogyps californianus June 19, 1946 Nr. Whiteacre Pk., Calif. Clear day. At 6:30 I left road on Whiteacre Pk. trail at 7:10 was on tip of the cliff about 1 mile S. of Whiteacre Pk. There was a fair NW breeze then, about 70°F. My plan was to watch #13 nest (?) area further. I saw one adult abot 1/4 mile to W. of me in the green Coast live oak where I had seen the adults roosting before. This one was on a long dead branch about 20' from top of 60' tree, about 10' out from trunk, standing, facing SSW. Buff was dawn or flat; crop patch was plainly evident and of lighter color than the higher magenta spot. The pink ankles of this bird showed well. I could not see the other adult, but intervening rock ledges obscured my view of many roost trees. The tree had 2 stub branches much whitewashed & the bore of a long dead one - most whitewashed was a 2½' long stub about 3 or 4" in diameter about 10' from tree top. 7:25, the adult stretched left wing slowly out, & bowed forward, down, & back, then raised both wings. The- fore folding them, then straightened up - all very slowly. 7:28, adult sunned its back, wings out (facing away from me). Fair steady breeze continued. Wings folded at 7:32. Bird is at about eye level, legs rig primary horizontal, in sunning pose. Then occa- sional preening. 7:55, stretched right wing down & back, raising folded wing high before laying it on
