Gymnogyps californianus May 26, 1949 San Luis Obispo Co., Calif., passing over the lower canyons, without being seen — essentially no condors present; no evidence of nesting. Nesting previous year, an imm. might be seen in area. Dan McMillan says that the 5 condors which Buch Kester (of Parleyfield) reported were the first ever ever reported near due to his knowledge. This indicates some change in the range of the birds. Kester was a rider in Stone Canyon for years & never saw condors there (about 1915-20 I don't think). Dan thinks Kester a most reliable observer and me who pays attention to wildlife. Dan does not regard reports of condors further N. in Matting Co., as infallible — even those by Dave Delcher. My belief is that except for vagrants, condors now do not range north of Castle Mountain.
