oford 327/ Gymnogyps californianus July 16, 1946 Nr. Credon Mtn, Tulave Co. at 7:35 I saw first turkey vultures soaring. At 8:00 four condors appeared low over the ridge ¼ mile E. of me, circled over the W. slope & rose 100'; then glided off to W. & scattered. At 8:11 another (adult) circled & rose above same ridge. I did not see from whence these birds came. At 8:25 I saw one heading my way from above the horizon over Gibbon Pk. - at 8:27½ it was 100' above me (adult). 8:26 I saw another coming from same direction. At 8:30, 2 adults & 1 min. circled 100' over me. Then I saw 1-3 condors circling low over a hillside about 1 mile N. of Fountain Springs, several times. Watched the Gibbon Pk. area but saw no more fly 8:40. At 8:48 saw 4 with 3 turkey vult- tures circling & rising over the hillside about 1 mile N. of Four tain Springs. Returned to car, finding on the way two partially consumed squirrel carcasses with a ball of stomach or intestinal contents still intact. Drove them to Porterville & to Tule River Indian Reservation to try to see where condors went upon passing over Gibbon Creek. The head of the S. Fork of Tule River affords many granite cliff & dead & down conifer rooting spots. Mule Pk. Lookout looks down into this area too. At 10:2:17 when I was about ½ mile up Gibbon Creek from Tule River, I saw an adult & min. (about 2 yrs.) circling overhead with about 3 turkey vultures. The min. soared lowest only 100' alt. at times, & sometimes had feet down.
