Page 65 California Condor--Continued 3 april-19 became fluffy and took on the sheen - one usually sees on condors in flight. This bird had two primaries missing in the left wing and the last primary before the secondaries start appeared to be only about 2/3 grown out. This Condor preened, fluffed and stretched its [illegible] until 11:25 A.m., when it faced the edge of the Ca rock, on which it had been perched, opened its [illegible] and flew out, and down, behind the rock. It stayed behind this rock, evidently dropping lower and crossing the Beartup Valley, for when a next picker up in my glasses it was circling about one mile to the Northwest. It soon gained altitude and when last seen disappeared behind the big rocks that are on top of the ridge above the old Queen Bee Mine, heading West by Northwest. This bird had bright white under its wings but the white bar on the top of the wings was not definite in fact when the wings were folded tight the white bar couldn't be seen. The head was red but the neck buff covered most of the neck. The head was yellowish and appeared to be rather bare on the neck.
