Gymnogyps californianus August 14, 1948 Carrizo Plains, S.L.O. Co. turned to the food. On another day he put out some jockeablelite and the condor fed on there, dragging them about. In setting the affolfitbody nothing was left, said Elb. He saw condor tracks indicating that one condor had dragged a steer head weighing over 20 lbs. Another time he saw about 5 condors at a sheep carcass near the road a few miles W. of the ranch house but did not have time to watch them. The rancher told him later that the condors were around all day. One rancher said that nearly running feeding condors were not disturbed by a tractor, Elb had noted the same thing in Sandhill Cranes. We revisited the carcass about 2:15 p.m. and flushed about 15 turkey multures from the carcass, but no condors. Saw about 500 head of cattle on a ranch just SE of the Pivole, in open rolling hill country suitable for condor feeding. We drove of cattle dock toward Chalone & saw about 1000 head in two bunches in Betterwater Canyon. Elb said the weather had been windy for several days be- fore today. Perhaps today the condors took a different route because of the change (eastly wind today; NW before). One group of condors flushed by Elb flopped heavily heavily & made for some nearby hills.
