Gymnogyps californianus June 25, 1946 Shannon, Calif. the carder route from Cholame Flats was close to the S W side of this pass & the hills on S W side of Antelope Valley. June 26, 1946 Mr. Cholame, Calif. Drove to Cholame Flats & laid out 3 jack rabbits and 4 cottontails about 1½ miles N. of Cholame Rockey, on the flat grounds, 300± yds. W. of Hancock Ranch road, & about ½ mile S E of the old calf carcass. Started watching from about 3/8 miles E. of rabbits at 8:15. Day clear & warm, no breeze. By 9 a.m., one turkey vulture & 5 ravens at the calf carcass. The rabbits all killed yesterday afternoon about 2:30 p.m. or later - some cottontails since 7 a.m. today. At 9:10 saw 1 adult soaring Toward Castle Mtn. - or rather toward S. end of Table Mtn. It glided over the hills, passing about 3/4 mile N. of us, to over Cholame Flats & circled & wandered over the carcass vicinity at 2000' altitude. At 9:34 I saw a second in that di- rection, & it too glided W. passing about 1 mile N. of us. Breeze faint at best. First adult had #8 right primary missing. By 9:40 the first was standing at the calf carcass. This one had no crop bulge. The second (adult) descended first by, turned 1 or 2 circles in spiraling down, & at 9:43 alighted at the carcass.
