Gymnogyps californianus June 26, 1946 Mr. Keck's Corner, Calif. Carcass had sheds of meat attached, mainly dry, so that main cleaning appeared to have been yesterday. Hide was fresh as if skinned today. Hair tight & no swell so carcass apparently fresh when eaten. All legs had skin inside out down to wrists or ankles, & all bones still attached, the hind ones to pelvis. forelegs included scapulae. Ribs, spine, & all but 1 or 2 distal tail vertebrae were intact. Lower mandible was about 8' from rest of carcass. No internal organs present. There was a large hole near shoulder & another in abdomen. Skull was in head skin, attached only on crown, skinned clean past the eyes. Lips & nearly nose skin gone but apparently all wooly hide remained. The neck, still in hide, was bloody tho thoroughly cleaned & apparently consumed most recently. Apparently sheep was an adult in good appearing condition. One ear gone flush with head, others intact. & This was about 3 miles S W of Keck's Creek, about 1/2 mile N of dog carcass of yesterday. Found a few bits of woodpeck, 1 down feather, & 1 other small raven feather on the dragged slope. The birds which left did not appear stuffed. Saw no more carrion in vicinity so returned to Shadow via Blai io Pass. Dan McMillan told me that around the Carrizo Ranch, they were familiar with condors. He showed me 2 letters from J. Brinnell to W.B.Donnely (Paso Robles).
