Gymnogyps californianus June 29, 1946 about 3/4 mile E. of the lookout + see a young condor on a ledge a short way down the cliff. The point was lower to W. of the highest farthest bluff to E. of the look- out. Tegan shot a coyote there + the lookouts asked if he was shooting their pet cards. Tegan seemed fairly reliable but inclined to be boastful. Apparently he had killed several hundred deer, outlaws, & horses for various State jobs. This part of Santa Barbara county was about as far south as he worked (to Camarillo area). He said Charlie Tant was after lions in the Santa Ynez range with his dogs now & had gotten several lions this year already. The condor next area was near where Mrs. Al Williamson reported a young condor in 1939 or 1940 — so probably something to it. June 21, 1946 Sisquoc Canyon, Calif. Left alamar saddle at 6:50 a.m. & hiked down Sisquoc Canyon. At 8:30, near Saman Pk. I saw one immature (dark) with a center left primary missing, circling. Around 8:30 met the rainy time. At 9:15 was at 1Katl Camp. Day clear & warm. Arrived at Falls Canyon.
