Gymnogyps californianus July 9, 1946 Temblor Ranch, Calif. the Carrizo sheepmen had sold their sheep & turned to cattle instead during the war (Cuyama too?). This area was rolling short-grass foothills with many oil roads & devices near plains edge. I talked with Carl Twirielman & saw a short 8mm movie he had taken of 3 condors atop Garcia Rocks (about 2 miles N. of ranch house). He said that 3 or 4 years ago he saw 9 or 10 near the water trough in Carrizo Canyon & found a primary feather there. In 1941 the pictures at Garcia Rocks were taken. There are sand- stone projections atop a ridge. Men were working on a fence nearby & saw condors within 1/4 mile of (other land) the birds several times. This was at 2 ~ 3 p.m. in spring. A dead sheep was between the workers & the condors. Condors were seen several times that spring, especially 3, said Carl. In spring of 1942, Carl was driving up the road about a mile below ranch house when he saw what he thought was an eagle fly from a fence post. He shot at it with a .22 pistol several times before he realized the bird was a condor. Then the others flew off, a total of 14. They were found at a calf carcass 2 or 3 days old which had been dragged out in the field. About 3 months ago Carl drove by a calf carcass & saw 1 big condor feeding on it - he said this was the biggest condor he had ever seen. He sneaked up on this bird
