Gymnogyps californianus May 25, 1949 San Luis Obispo Co spur poisoning. El McMillan, Jardin of La Banza ranch, & others corroborate this. We drove to Pinole Ranch. El said that turie this spring (me april 24), a condor was seen at midday in the head of Cedar Canyon (WOL. of Pinole Ranch in San Joaquin drainage), & one day 2 (?) were flushed from a calf coyote carcass near Willow Canyon on La Banza ranch. We drove to La Banza ranch & talked with the manager, Jardin. He said that he saw 2 condors dragging a calf near the San Juan Creek near Beartrap Canyon about 2 months ago. He said he tried to keep track of the condors because many people were interested in them, & that his impression was that they arrived about November and remained until spring. Once in a while he saw a few, never many - usually near Beartrap Canyon. In a fair E wind, we watched the roosting area at head of Beartrap from about 3 to 4 pm but saw no condors.

El yesterday said that the coyote carcass upon which con- dors were working was old - the hair was slipping, - but not flyblown, & that the birds had apparently dragged dragged the carcass but had not yet eaten it. From least lawn in Beartrap Canyon I watched from about 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saw Turkey vultures (10) but no condors. Clear, warm, slight breeze. Of course 1 or 2 condors could have left, not
