Gymnogyps californianus July 12, 1946 Springfield, Calif. rangers, apparently "lusted" from assistant supervisor. He said Blue Ridge Lookout was manned by the state (Chaptr. Vialia, ranger Bennington) this year. He had sent the photos & mimeo sheets I sent him to his own lookouts (Taliesin Jordan, & one other peak). Blue Mtn. is also state manned, he said. The card note I received with his name signed to it was not written by him - he was extremely skeptical that condors occurred this far north as he had once worked on the Las Padres, but he promised to send me any information he might receive. W.L. Richardson of Porterville said he had been here 30 years & had once seen 2 (?) condors on Tule Indian Reservation. His children, Bill & Helen, had camped & hiked much in the surrounding area (Bill sent me 1 note on carders). He said he had seen one pair several times around Wilson's Pk. (Mt. Wilson) in his youth. July 13, 1946 Fountain Springs, Calif. Drove from Porterville toward White River, and at 11 a.m. stopped about 1 mile SE of Fountain Springs to watch several buzzards in air. I saw one carder at 11 a.m., 1½ miles ESE of Fountain Springs. Then I saw about 50 turkey vultures in one group, & 4 condors among them (at 11:15) about ½ mile E. of SE (the road at my position). They scattered soon. Then one adult soared about 100
