Gymnogyps californianus June July 18, 1946 Bakersfield, Calif. he said. About 6 or 8 years ago, D. said, he saw 6 or 8 condors at Devils Kitchen - a sluffy area about 4 miles N. of Antimony Pk. on a tributary to San Luis Creek. They were flying about & sighting on the rocks, & he got some pictures of one there. About 1 year ago he saw 1 about 5 miles up the Mt. Abel (snow spots area) road from Maricopa side. About 1930, he said, he saw 14 or 15 in the Mill Creek (Lucas Creek) area on Breckenridge Mtn. in dead pine trees. He said he saw them then several times over 2 or 3 years. By 1941 they were down to 5 or 6, he said. It was his general impression that condors had decreased since the old days. About 2 weeks ago he said he saw 3 in the Lucas Creek canyon - between the old sawmill & Pine Saddle. In winter, in duck season, he said he used to see them near Kern Lake, about 8 miles S. & E. of Old River. This was sheep range up to about 1925 & there were about 59,000 sheep. The "Land Company" sold this land about 1925 & it is now mostly in cotton. About 15 years ago, he said, he saw condors at Mud Springs, about between the Castro place & Noosier Camp on Breckenridge Mtn. Last winter he saw 1 near Kern Lake, he said. Of course he doesn't get around the ranch like he used to, he said. He wasn't sure about the relative numbers of cattle in the old days & now
