oford 3274 Gymnogyps californianus July 17, 1946 Nr. Gibbon Pk, Tulare Co. sires in head of Gordon Creek from here. At 7:33 I saw the first turkey vulture. 7:38, I saw one condor circling above the ridge about 1 mile E. of Gordon Pk. It glided W.4, went out of sight on E. side of this Pk. near topo. 8:11, I saw a probable condor gliding from Bellbank area to S.W.- some turkey vultures also took this route. Yesterday, the tendency of condors to circle over a knoll was well ill- strated by the 2 or 3 which came over me, for I was on the highest point for at least a mile in any direction. These birds Two must have been coming from other than the Orosaw Mtn. direction - perhaps some depart in other directions in the morning too. By 9 A.M. I had seen no more con- dors - four W. lineage by then - 4 now by 9:39 as left. There is much good cattle land in Lower Dee Creek away, but I saw only a few cattle. Drove to the junction of McFarland-Woody & Famoso-Woody roads; no squirrels, livestock, or birds save horned- larke there now. July 18, 1946 Bakersfield, Calif. At Bakersfield looked up F. F. Latta as recommended by W. Richardson. He was working at making adobe lids for Sandstone Brick Co. He said he had seen condors at Mt. Paso, east of Selenneville, & over Bakersfield High School, & thought they were quite numerous - I think some of these must have been turkey vultures. His main interest is collecting relics & information.
