Gymnogyps californianus June 12, 1946 Hopper Canyon, Calif. missed & grabbed a 3' lower branch. When some steadiness regained, the imm. flopped violently - begging hard apparently. The tail flopped up & down loosely as the wings pumped. The imm. worked up to adult's level, then fell 6' to another branch & then took off. At 10 a.m. it alighted about 30' below adult on some tree. 10:01, a second imm. alighted, 12' higher in tree. The upper imm. flew to a 10' lower branch, then walked up to other immature. Both flapped wings as if wrestling, beside or losing dalance, then they stood calmly together. The immature climbed up toward adult. 10:08, both took off, & adult too - at 10:09 I saw 3 (three same probably) on the ground at the calf. 10:10, one imm. flew at the other & chased it 30' down the slope. The adult was at the carcass. The chased imm. walked back up to carcass. The adult fed at oral region, apparently. West winds & low angle made visibility poor at carcass. 10:12, a second adult alighted 50' uphill & bounced down to the calf. Another imm. alighted too - 2 adults & 3 imm. at calf. at 10:13. One adult flew over the carcass at the other or an imm. (both ran) - and chased the bird 30' downhill, thin walked back to carcass (other adult back too). 10:15, an adult flew at imm. &
