Gymnogyps californianus July 15, 1946 Nr. Credon Mtn., Calif. peak it seemed (lost over dark brush at 5:18). Fair W. Linge still no activity when most condors apparently alighted. I could see open water in a small stream near that locality. By 6 p.m. I saw no condors, so went down to the area where I lost saw them - they were gone & I had missed them; they must have followed an initial route home different than that of the 5:04 bird. About The only carcass I could find where the birds apparently descended was a hard dried hide with scattered old white bones - could it be the condors descended thinking this a recent corpse? using sight rather than smell - of course, this area had been poisoned & there were many squirrel burrows & some stitch from them. There was a water trough of clear running water and a trickle of clear water in a stream about 100 yds. from carcass, but I could find no condor sign there. A good spot for them to water, though. Many cattle around S. end of Credon Mtn. ; 500 at least. July 16, 1946 Nr. Credon Mtn., Tulare Co. At 6:30 a.m. I was atop a ridge about 1/2 mile N. of S. end of Credon Mtn.. My purpose was to discover from what direction condors came to the Fountain Springs area, their time & what hour of first arrival. Fair W. Linge, 4 cool.
