Gymnogyps californianus July 9,1946 Temblor Ranch, Calif. got fairly close but noted no range dead. The calf had not been eaten at all.

In the summer of 1945, 7 condors were in sight at one time circling over the hills near the House (about June), Carl used to work for various ranches in the Carrizo Plain & Shandon-Cholame areas. He said he saw one on San Juan Ranch once which seemed to be too full to fly, & it flopped from ridge to ridge, chased by cowboys on horseback. Another time they rode ups on 10 in a draw, also at San Juan Ranch (Del Sur La Panza Ranch). The one found dead now at Santa Barbara museum was seen partly under a water trough about 3 miles from the house (Ned) by Daryl T. (about 12 yrs. old). The specimen was not seen to be a condor & secured until about 2 weeks later. As to poison, Carl said all the foothills area for about 35 miles was poisoned for squirrels this year. No dead buzzards or eagles were found, however. For one are killed by Strychnis coypa lata, Carl said. Strychnis poisoned animals (rabbits, coyotes) seem to go for water, said Carl - maybe why condor found dead at water. Ernest Still, Carl's brother-in-law, found a dead in a water trough in
