California Condor Eban Nemillan 25 march, 1963 Page 49 a thin, high cover of hazy clouds covered the sky and a brisk, cool east wind was blowing as I drove up the San Juan river to the Navajo Canyon. A dead Ewe was inside the sheep corral on east side of Navajo Creek. Making the rounds of the Shepherds Camps, the Frenchmen, camped below Cedar Spring on the river told me he saw 5 Condor yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. He also said no more sheep had been killed by Coyotes and he now thinks a wildcat cut the throat of a lamb on the hill behind his Camp last week. The herder on the ridge towards La Punza told me a Ewe had died this morning, on the flat above the Gil Mud Spring, on the river. Driving to the river I noticed several Turkey Vultures flying about and an immature Golden Eagle was circling to the west of the Navajo ridge top. As I drove out on the highway, from the Navajo ridge, I noticed several Turkey Vultures feeding on the carcass of a sheep that lay about 200 yards north of the road and at the mouth of a short draw that came in from the Northeast. These Vultures flew into the air as I passed on the road. Driving on to the river I located the death Sheep the Herder referred to, ate my lunch and returned to the highway on which I drove back up to the Navajo ridge road noticing several Turkey Vultures circling a bit to the south of where the dead sheep was. One Turkey Vulture was feeding on the sheep carcass. This was about 12:40 P.M. Cont.
