Gymnogyps californianus February 18,1948 Hopper Canyon, Calif. ed car tracks made since the last storm (who?). I saw an adult 4 1/2 yr. min. (under wing patches light tips to greater secondary coverts, tail with a point) soar N. over head of Wavily Canyon. Crops of both bulged, that of min. being a button V-as if skin tighter. Imm., then adult, lit in top of high heat dead Co. on Flat Ramp of South Ridge. Imm. begged, four adult, giving gentle "feeding flaps". Both shifted perch so that at about 1:50, chick faced adults' left side. There was much begging but heads mostly obscured by tree trunks. Flaps increased at times, apparently when feeding contact broken, then declined to none or nearly no flaps though wings always extended. I saw adult's head pump eye & down & twice saw adult head forced high by chick's bill. So without doubt a feeding of a 1947 chick. By 2:00, both quietly standing on same limb. Chick scratched side of head with foot. I was on open hillside 1/4+ mile away at same level. 2:19 adult gone. 2:15, it (same?) was atop dead Bo. 100± yds. from min. 2:29, one from that area flew slid fast to SE for about 1/2 miles (near Wavily Canyon), joined another, and both circled together working up canyon. Sky 1% alto stratus; cool fair S. breeze. (At 2:30)
