ben Mcmillan Condor project 23 may-1963 Jan and I were up-had breakfasted and were waiting for Jack Gains who came to our camp at 8:00 a.m. Jan rode with Gains while I followed in my pickup, up the Sespe and past the locked gate to Hartev Cattle Camp and on to end of vehicular travel. Here we left the pickups and hiked up the bulldozed roadway to a Heliport on top of the brush covered knoll that looks into the agua Blanca drainage and into the Cobblestone mountain area. Fog that had persisted up to 9:30 a.m., now cleared somewhat. at 10:00 A.m. Jan saw a Turkey Vulture flying to the south of us at a distance of about 4 mile away. Jan mentioned his identification of this bird as a Turkey Vulture. Jack Gains put his binoculars on this bird and immediately identified it as a Golden Eagle. We all three watched this bird as it circled Neater to us. Jack Gains then exclaimed that the bird had a red head-and changed his identification from Golden Eagle to Condor, and on the strength of it having no white under the wings, placed it as a Young Condor. This bird circled within 200 yards of us and then flew out of sight to the westward. at 10:20 a.m. a swishing sound above us caused us to look up as a Condor circled 60 or 70 feet above us. We moved quickly flashing our binoculars and cameras and talking. This did not alarm the Condor as it returned and
