Gymnogyps californianus June 5, 1950. Berkeley, Calif. Bass Welch, game warden at Porterville, phoned long distance to tell me of a reported condor nest in the northeastern part of Tuole Indian Recreation near Mule Peak at the 6600 foot level. A man whom he considered to be reliable had told him of a condor which roosted was seen to leave that area daily at about 3:30 p.m. The man had picked up cedar feathers from beneath the tree and Welch had seen them and was sure they were of condors. Welch was going to try to visit the area and watch the bird. He had seen 5 condors recently at same place he saw 12 last fall. Believe nest is in hole in redwood tree - cavity similar to cave.
